Now I didn't think I was being particularly brave and neither did the other 30 people on the tube. But to be honest. I was expecting a packed out tube between 8-9:30 yet I had enough room for a seat and seats space. There was no-one looking around nervously, everyone just buried their heads in their paperor book. I supose they're not the type if they're actually on the tube anyway.

Basically it was a luxury ride, but as I took the rail link across a bridge I saw many many people walking. This disappointed me alot. I expect people to be fighting this. Not cowering away and walking to work. Perhaps safe than sorry, but if you got run over, you wouldn't be afraid of cars, would you?

Anyway. Back to the story, London's great despite the crap bits. I'm proud and glad I live here in the end. It's all worth it for summer days like today, eating freshly made sandwiches in a private garden/park in Regents Park.

I didn't get why people were saying "It was so weird back on the tube, nobody was talking." Nobody ever talks on the tube anyway....

I had another shifty eyed bloke on there today, but I was too hot and tired to be bothered.

People seemed alot more relaxed today. Chatting and stuff.

Whether your talking to people who have been affected or people who couldn't give a toss, it's still not funny.

Speaking of briefcases, one was left in one of the buildings at Rolls Royce where my dad works, caused the whole site to be temporarily evacuated for the evening. The bombsquad was called as well. Since my dad was returned to his job (un-evacuated?) i guess it was nothing...

Nah, you need a decent waiting time.

Even if I hear a good joke or something about something bad that's happened, I'll wait until two weeks after it to tell people, even if it's only to my mates who I know have nothing to do with it.

It's a mark of respect to the people who've died, really.

But if you have that attitude, you'll never say anything to anyone for fear of offending them.
