London bombing

You will have seen on the news that bombs have been going off on public transport in London. For the benefit of anyone who knows me and my other half; we’re OK. Had a “there but for the grace of God” moment on the way into work. I was just crossing the road to go into Aldgate Station at ten to nine this morning when police cars and fire engines started rolling up. A fireman started turning people back and the police began putting a cordon in place. Not wanting to hang around rubbernecking, I walked off in the direction of the office via Petticoat Lane.

I see on the news that the reason for all this was that a bomb had just gone off in Aldgate tube and subsequently ambulances arrived and the injured people started getting brought out of the station. Not being overly melodramatic to say that I might have missed being blown up by a couple of minutes there. Be safe, people.
