Home again

[louiselux]

I left work early, thinking there might be chaos at Birmingham New Street, but it was okay, only the Euston trains were cancelled, and now I'm home. Reading station was packed with people, tv crews outside. Lots of people commute from here to London. I just watched Tony Blair's speech - he looked absolutley shattered. M is at work - we haven't heard from his sister yet. It's not too likely she was on any of those trains this morning. But. It'd be good to know for sure. ETA: she's okay.

The train home was so quiet, except for a connecting door that would swing open every few minutes with a loud bang, making everyone jump each time. Someone stole all the joy from life today.

I think I'll go swimming and then do some writing. Eat some soup, tidy up-- normal things. I feel so strange.

I was so glad to read your post this morning, to know you were ok. But I can imagine you feel strange, since I already do and am further away from things than you are. It's just so ... unfair that people are made to suffer like this and for what? Makes one wonder what the world is going to, even more than usual.
Hope you'll hear news from M's sister really soon. My thoughts are with you all. *hugs*

I know what you mean. I was okay at work but now I'm home, and all the drive back I was thinking about how every day we go out on our usual journeys and never imagine...

Normal things is wise, I think. Let it settle. ::hugs::

Thank you, babe.

It's hard but yeah, normality returns and we carry on, I suppose. *hugs*

I'm fine, just upset really. I pity everyone who actually got caught up in it.

Thanks. *hugs*

I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for you at the moment, but I just wanted to say that I'm so glad you and your loved ones are safe.
Take care *hugs*

So very glad you're okay. I've been quite worried about the UK people on my flist. *hugs*

I'm glad you're all safe, sweetie. Was absolutely worried about all my friends from London. Stay safe and know that you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks. I wasn't caught up in it at all, for which I'm very thankful. I could have been though because I go through London to King's Cross at that time of day fairly often. It's scary, but really they can just fuck off, is my stance.

Thanks. I'm fine, really. Just very shocked now, and beginning to worry about the consequences of all this.

Thanks - it's good to hear that.
