Here we go again

This is not unfamiliar ground.  London has been here too many times before.  Wood Green.  Bishopsgate.  Aldwych.  Hyde Park.  South Kensington.  Camden.  And many more.

Today we must add Liverpool Street to that list.  Edgware Road.  Tavistock Place.  And Kings Cross.

Thankfully all my friends and family are safe.  But not everyone was as lucky today, and yet again London will be burying its innocent dead.

I was very lucky today.  I should have been there.  I was due to be working near Aldgate East this morning.  My train would have come into Liverpool Street, and since my laptop is heavy,  I would have taken the train to Aldgate (or Aldgate East - whichever came along first). 

But I stayed home today. 

Thankfully.

Fuck those who did this.  Bombing London will never work, because London will always remain.

I'm so glad you stayed home today, I've been worried about you since I read about the bombings earlier. London will go on but it's still such an awful event.

I'm glad you stayed home today, but so sad everyone is going through this.

I too am glad you stayed home. I cannot imagine how scary it was just being in London while it happened. Stay safe.

Very glad you stayed home, too.

Loved Red Ken's speech...we will not be defeated.

I'm so glad to hear you and family are safe. Just heard about this last night and came here first chance to make sure you were OK.
