home has never felt so far away

20 minutes ago I was sitting on a beach in Fiji and my only care in the world was the agonising decision of weather to go scuba diving or turtle feeding this afternoon.

A fellow Londoner I made freinds with came over with a face so serious I knew something had been wrong.

"I've just had a text message from my mum, theres been 4 bomb blasts in London."

Shit. We hot footed it over to the internet cafe for news. 3 blasts on tube trains and one on a bus. I don't think I know anyone who takes those routes, but you never know. I know my Mum will be affected as a Nurse in one of Londons Biggest hospitals she'll be dealing with the brunt of the injuries. I hope she'll be Ok.

I'm certain she's glad both her daughters are out of the country.

I am seroiously considering flying home. You need family at a time like this.

  2. Don't fly home, enjoy yourself out there, everyone will cope, they always do.
