I've no time for a full account now, but I'm fine, in case anyone was worried. It was all much too close for comfort, but I was never very close to any danger on Thursday.
I made it in as far as just next to Aldgate Station, near by my my office, but I was turned back there. (Before that, I had been under the impression that there were just tube disruptions.) I rang home to tell my parents that I was OK, and to get them to spread the news. Dad told me that there had been an explosion on a bus as well as on the tube, so I walked home. I met up with a friend (and a friend of hers), which was nice, but she had blisters, and there was an alert at Stockwell, so it took a loooong time to get home.
As far as I can tell, no one I know was hurt either, fingers crossed.
More on Monday.

Posted by: Mark Boyce on July 11, 2005 08:10 AMI called into TriSys as soon as I knew, which was about 11:00 am, and was glad to hear all were well.
I was at home wiit the flu thurs & fri so missed it all, and Kath had gone into work early for an 8:00am meeting.
Again, very glad to hear all the usual suspects are well.
Back to normal after the tradgedy, don't the the b@st@rdos win, etc etc.
I was so relieved to hear that you were OK. Here in the middle of the French countryside, with no TV or radio, we didn't hear about the bombs until another member of our Buddhist group phoned us the next morning. I flew along the lane to the one spot under the hedge where I could get a mobile signal to check that you were OK, and my sister Janet too - she travels through Liverpool Street every morning.My heart goes out to all the mothers who didn't get the good news I did. Hugs, Mum
