Morning Email from London

[saavedra77]

My colleagues and I received the following email from our London office, this morning:

Dear all - just to let you know that we are all fine.  Thanks for the emails asking if we are OK.  We did hear a bomb go off on a bus just up the road.  K**** was stuck on a tube for 2 hours and several others were disrupted.  We are all OK, although of course everyone is worried.  All transport- tubes, buses have been stopped and train stations are closed. 
 
Thanks for your concern,
 
best wishes
 
A*****

I wrote back that I was glad that everyone over there was OK.  I didn't say how chilling it was to learn that one of the explosions happened just "up the road."

Our thoughts are with our friends over there, but most especially with those who were directly affected by these horrific attacks.

We received a similar email from our colleague in London (but not as terrifying as 'up the street.').

I started to say "It's unbelievable!" But I'm sad to admit that this sort of thing is happening far too often nowadays, and I'm always grateful when something like this hasn't happened. (Hope that makes sense.)
