Good Morning. It looks like it's going to be a hazy, summer day. Some sunshine, some cloud. Hopefully no rain.
Oh yeah.
Some defiance. Some sorrow.
I'm on the verge of leaving for work. I've been promised a nice positive message to post on the Emergency web site, and I'm really looking forward to it.
And *pleased giggle* I'm seeing Jon tonight. I spent about an hour on the phone to him all told, yesterday. Hours on the phone to everyone else. You guys who came to visit and comment yesterday, please, don't be strangers now the dust is settling. Keep coming back, please?
I cannot believe that some hotels in London doubled their prices last night. And I thought I was profiteering by considering buying some shares...which I didn't, because I couldn't quite pull myself together enough, and felt guilty about having the idea! What next? Marks and Spencer puts up the price of knickers when people go looking for some clean undies this morning?!
I like this picture, and have intentions of getting a print to hang above my bed.

This seems like a very good plan:
"East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency ( ICE ) " campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone's annual life savers award.
The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency". In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them.
It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do.
Please will you also forward this to everybody in your address book, it won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. "

Just spent an exhausting 20 minutes on the phone to Neville. Seems he plans to streak across Goodwood while wearing a pair of roller blades that were constructed in 1880. He's considering wearing body paint to look like a racing driver. I have agreed to sponsor his bellybutton...
Mind now boggling. So that's my little world back to 'normality' anyhow. Prayers for those who are still struggling.
And the sunshine refuses to shine.

Morning, no work for me today. Boss closed office again although we could have got buses in. Feel strangely guilty about not being there. London has a city to be proud of though effectively those bombers have achieved nothing except innnocent deaths and infuriating the world.
Long live London!
Ace picture.
ryc: wha ha ha ain't that the truth
Hello.
Based on the news coverage over here in the US, it seems like you all are taking the attack in stride. They reported that the phrase "business as usual" was coined in England during World War 2, and it appears that's how most are responding now.
I'm curious to see what the political ramifications are. Will Blair lose support? Gain support? Will your anger be directed more at the terrorists or will people blame the US and the war in Iraq (I hope not)?
These times we're living in... sometimes sad, but always interesting.
That will be lovely print! In college, I had a color print of the same scene at sunset above my bed. Loved it.
Have a lovely, restful weekend!
Oh, that's just not cool that hotels in London raised prices. You'd think they'd have been incredibly accomodating and maybe even let some people stay for free if they couldn't get home. I'm glad to see you're seeing someone tonight and it's making you giggle. You need a good giggle today. :)
