London, again
Today has not been a brilliant day. I had a feeling something was going on around midday, when teachers started ducking out of the rooms with their mobile phones, and then I heard about the bombs. Me and some friends tried to get on the BBC News website -some kid gave me the password- but we weren’t allowed to in the end, because apparently no-one was supposed to go to any news websites in case it panicked people.
So…a bunch of classes were meant to be going to London tomorrow, and now they’re not, and there were people getting annoyed about that, which sounds somewhat petty but there you go. I texted my parents at home and they texted back and said it was probably al Queda (or however you spell that…I ought to know, really).
I hope everyone’s okay, and their loved ones, too. :( And to think yesterday everyone in London was partying about the Olympics, and now…this.
EDIT: london_070705. That’s great. :)

When I heard about what happened I felt awful. I’ve always loved London. :( I really pray that everyone’s family is all right. I know how you feel. I was in school also when there leaked word about the 9/11 attack. We had the same thing… teachers dodging out of class and talking in hushed tones, and the kids weren’t supposed to find out. Its a scary thing. I hope everything turns out alright. :(

Me too. :( I think they’re cleaning up now, though. Hopefully this won’t happen again. (anywhere – that would be nice…)

Oh, gosh, Sarah, I’m so glad you’re alright! I heard London this morning and was so worried. You’re all in my prayers, and my family’s too. That’s such a horrible time to be going through, with all the uncertainty, and badness.

Thanks. :) I wasn’t in London-I’m too far away, and now I think about it I’m really glad the school trip wasn’t today even though I wasn’t going. Anyway, you take care of yourself too- it looks like there’s some very dangerous people out there. :(
