I'm so glad you're not dead! I thought you were on some other island entirely, so didn't worry...

*hugs you hard*

Nope, have been here since the Paris weekend we didn't meet, and until the autumn again. Admittedly, the other island now seems like a safer idea...

Not dead.

Good. Excellent in fact. Random death is all around so avoiding it is a boon.

I had one friend on the train at Kings Cross. Her lungs are black as hell and she's still all aquiver but she's not dead either.

I usually think of London as big, only it clearly isn't because half the people I know have had some connection to the explosions, whether as commuter, passerby or medic.

Poor woman. I can't begin to imagine.

not dead is a good state to be in. Especially given your usual routine!

Suspect very similar mindset. Have done the misty-eyedness and the 'proud of my city' and have now moved on (via being glad there were so few people travelling today) to feeling weirded out by the pervasive sense of calm.

Off to green bosoms of hills v soon. Please don't take my departure personally, though! And I shall be within coming-up-for-drinks distance.

Oh, then let's have drinks. I can make envious eyes at you about the green bosoms of hills etc. I've just postponed a research trip out of a general desire to stay indoors under a duvet and am about for the foreseeable future.

Not dead.

Thank goodness!

Misty-eyed and beamy over the way people pull together is a good thing. I was in the big earthquake in San Francisco in '89, and loved how everyone cooperated, random people voluntarily directed traffic through lightless intersections, etc. What's really the pity is that people get over that and start in with the small penis jokes and other stupidities of modern life. Why don't we remember that we're all in this together?

The uncharacteristic sweetness of Londoners is pretty much finished by now, and we are all back to our grumpy selves, but it was (oddly) nice while it lasted. If I see him again, I'm going to gouge his eyes out with my door keys.
