Whew! Glad you had posted the all clear. I hit post on my graphic table--then thought maybe I had goofed! :o)
How is your dad reacting to all of this?
Dear snugsie - having lived in London several times, the last at 102 George St., near the American Embassy, I'm horrified at these bombings.
I remember well the drapes and curtains hanging down on the floor at the Embassy - protection against bomb blasts, to have enough fabric to move with the glass if a bomb blew in the windows, to attempt to protect the people inside. I thought then and think now - how horrible it is that we have to live with the concept of protection from bomb blasts. Of course, I saw those drapes in 1979, 1981,2,3,4,5, and for the last time in 1989 - all pre-9/11, but very real for Brits because of previous IRA bombings in England.
I was so horrified to see the results of the attacks today and so very glad to read on the "live" thread that patriciaruth had heard from you and that you were safe and sound.
I was busy, trying to find out if a Grand-nephew, studying in London for the Summer was alive and well - and only ascertained about 2 hours ago, that while they were in the tube, on one of the trains when the bomb went off, they are scared, but unharmed.
We live in very uncertain times and my heartfelt condolences to the families of those touched by these bombings today, and for all the victims - may they heal quickly. For the deceased, peace eternal and may their families feel the touch of God's mercy and peace.
I'm so sorry.
Good to see you here tonight, Snugs.
Thank you for the thread.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and London at this time.
God Bless the families of those who lost their lives to the terrorist devils today. May he give them strength and comfort.
