Comparitively speaking, I'm fine thanks Caerwynn. Also a little dazed.
I wandered down to St Pauls at lunch time today. The main memorial service is going to be there tomorrow but you would never know, except for a number of BBC broadcast vans outside. I had expected it to be on a board by the enterance but there were only a couple of security people telling folks about it. I'm not a religous guy myself but I might have gone if I could, only it starts at 12 o'clock & people will be flocking in form 10:30 when the doors open. I'm sure that there are others with a greater claim on a place than me anyway.
Does anyone know about Light's friends? She is not on-line today so I haven't been able to ask her.
Sorry for the rant - I'm sure you didn't want to know that! How are you?

I'm fine Ugi. Interesting to hear about St. Pauls, hubby spends 1 day a week round the corner from it. He was up on Tuesday and his building was the last to be evacuated in the City. But I wasn't overly concerned as I didn't think London would be targeted on the same day.
Last night woke in a sweat when I heard the Police helicopter hovering overhead, it was so close the flashing lights were shining through the curtains. It seemed to be hanging around for ages, as I couldn't hear any other sirens, it must have been a training exercise. But it jarred the old nerves for a bit!
Light has heard from Shea and Mr Plato. I saw a posting from Mr Christopher some where too.

It's great that they are OK, but I think it was a non-h2g2 friend that she had not heard about yesterday. He had just flown to NY for a few days & was going to be in or near WTC. I do hope he's OK.

It is a horrible business and who knows how it is going to end.

Hi Hati, nice to see you.
You are right, these things will never end, cetainly not without a dramatic change in human nature.
So I say we should all have a and raise our glasses to those who are no longer with us.
