Thanks to Rob and my mom for passing on the news that my flight went smoothly and I'm safe. I wasn't even sure what had happened in London until I landed in Minnesota. Rob and I saw a snippet of a news program which was talking about a bomb on a bus, but I didn't catch much about it before I had to get on the plane.
I take the 30 bus from Highbury and Islington to the office every day. It was very strange to hear that, out of all the buses in London, it was a 30 which had been (randomly?) targeted. The local news had a picture of a 30 bus this morning, and they spoke to some regular riders who haven't been put off their daily journey by yesterday's events. Imagine: seeing my little 30 bus on the Minneapolis news.
At any rate, I would have been safely at work (had I gone to work yesterday) by the time the first incident occurred. Even if I had been on that particular bus, I would have gotten off long before it reached Russell Square.
Still, how strange.
I'm really glad to hear you're all right. Ack, one of those buses was your bus?! Scary.
I GOT YOUR PACKAGE TODAY!!! Thank you so much! I was so surprised. I love the pouch and the buttons and the Japanese stationary and the dress pins and the magazine made me go all drooly. So thank you very much. It totally made my day.
