Ridiculousness

Foolishness on the Tube again as some moron have placed bombs on three trains and a bus again today, just two week after the 7/7 disaster. Thankfully it appears that there is only one injury and no serious damage from this latest act of stupidity. As you can tell, I am fine. We were in a class on Renaissance printing techniques and safely on the south side of the Thames when all this began. It has totally dashed our afternoon plans of a boat trip down to the Tate Britain, though, and I am quite peeved as a result.

Much different scenario this go 'round since I am out of the heart of the city. they've shut down central London again just to keep the swarms of people donw, but buses are still running, at least on this side. I saw one just of Blackfriars road as I made my way back to the apartment. I can hear sirens in the distance--nothing like the ear-splitting screams that were wialing outside my window just two weeks ago. I feel much safer over here--as if the river is giving me a great barrier to the evilness that seeks out the city.

I'd planned to go to the West End for a show tonight, but now I'm not sure where that stands. If the theatre district stays open, I'll probably go. If not, it looks like cards and early zzzzs here in Southwark, London, tonight.
