The day after

We are all waking up to an uneasy calm in the city. Lionel and I have decided to stay home from work.

My desktop latest news update has beeped that the death toll has risen to 50. There are still bodies in the underground, being removed at Russell Square. Although many tube services are up and running, the Hammersmith and Circle Line are still closed for now, and delays and limited services are to be expected. Buses are running, but with extra high security. I don't think anyone is going to do any travelling for now. It's not that the probability of another bomb will be high (security will be at its maximum today), it's just the unease of being able to trust any form of transport, or any public spaces for that matter.

Thanks to this guy.

The weather today is still dismal.
Will be staying tuned to the news and working on my sound signals for the time being.
