We are fine :)

We were safely home. Son was further up the train line at Charing Cross and other than having to walk most of the way back to his flat is OK too.

The attack was at Borough Market and on the road bridge. JoesDad and I walked past Borough Market, now a foodie hotspot, heading for London Bridge station about 4pm yesterday... as we do so often. The Market was packed as it always is.

Having been through the IRA problems in the city in the 1980s, including being on a train at London Bridge when the bomb went off and working for Lloyd's whose building is next door to the CU building that got bombed, the city will just carry on and you end up walking a lot more as security alerts close the underground more frequently.

The city won't stop. It will become more careful. I just hope it doesn't impact the tourists too badly.

Good to hear that you are fine !

Thanks for the update! :) Glad you're ok. Sounds like you've got a very sound, experienced approach. :)

Hi John - yes I kept getting bad gateway message when I tried to pop in last night.
Glad it's back to normal.
A very wet day here in Wales and tomorrow isn't looking too good either.
Thankfully Weds looks OK for my outdoor activities day - probably bike riding.:)
'the sun always shines on the righteous?
or 'the Devil looks after his own?'
Hmmm.........I wonder;)

This message "Bad gateway" I got too. Glad too that TFO is back.
Sorry for your very wet day. I got lots of sunrays today and warm weather too.
But often sun is shining when people have to work and on weekends it`s raining cats and dogs.... You wanna get one, or two ?:D

Good evening all. We have been in a tiny corner of Kent that escaped the rest of Britain's wet weather today. It's been windy, but sunny out on the Kent coast.

We went for a tour of Dungeness B nuclear power station - no photos as there are men with big guns telling you not to take them :D

It was really interesting though. We got to go in the reactor building and look down on the reactor and we went in the very noisy turbine hall.

My Dad was an engineer at the, now decommissioned, A station so it's something I have always been curious about.

Afterwards we went to the RSPB nature reserve for a walk before coming home :)

well an interesting day.. hand specialist says i've to see surgin for xrays and doc for pain management clinic. i have also been pulled out my placement at work and put back to base :(
I sympathise with you John, my hand is giving me jip today - must be the wet weather.
Have you ever used a metal (copper?) bracelet?
Just wondering if they work or not.
I haven't seen the doc about my hand yet - only my knee - so I don't know if it's rheumatoid or osteoarthritis I have.
I should go - it may be something completely different!
Hope you manage to get back to placement soon.

I'm ok thanks John just catches me every now and again when I try to lift something etc. or play my piano. My neighbours will be pleased if it stops me doing that! Maybe I'll take up drumming;)
