Thanks pb. It was worrying but due to the 'alert' I could act swiftly before the ensuing chaos.

Yes it is worrying, I have relatives who live near Boston, but who work in Boston and relatives that live near New York, who work in New York ... Sod's Law really ;¬)

I imagine you'll enjoy the luxury of typing with 2 hands soon Smedders, one of those basic abilities we overlook! I'd have trouble using a computer with a hand in a cast. Plus on the gaming side of things :-(

Afternoon all.

Just got back from the hospital, hand healing nicely so they've put me in another cast for 3 weeks, they've made it so I have the use of my fingers back now it's not too painful to move them but trying to type with a heavy cast on my left arm isn't easy!

Still they've dyed this one red to match Forest and Ilkeston FC's colours so not all bad!

@DL. Well, I've finally figured out what your cryptic message meant, at least, having no idea that your cousins were in Boston. Still, glad to hear they're ok, but worrying situation all the same.

Lucky with the weather over the last few days. While it was raining here in the South West on Sunday and Monday, we were up in Windsor where it was nice and sunny most of the time.

Back here today, the sun is out and it looks pretty nice.

Good afternoon and welcome ... fine, sunny but a blustery day here.

@Sonic Chris - thanks SC.

I was actually playing a map on an American BF3 server when I found out - the onscreen txt chatter between players! Luckily the game completed soon after and I began a search for info. One of my cousins has been involved with the Boston Marathon in past years, but thankfully they were all at home in Concord for Patriots Day.

Not entirely sure what's going on in Boston. All I've read so far is that there were explosions at the marathon, and 2 people have been reported dead so far.

Bruins game got cancelled for obvious reasons.

@DL - Glad to hear your cousins are fine.

Evening .

Back from 2 days at Legoland. Exhausted by the 3 hour drive and the park itself. Will be glad to be back in my own bed, but had good fun at the park.

Don't panic ... my cousins are OK ... just got hold of them and they are fine but bewildered ;¬)

Why has the forum post order been reversed? I hope this is a bug and not a planned change, one thing these forums have that's different to most is the logical order of the posts.

*EDIT* It's back to normal now, but was certainly out of order for me before.

Morning.

Lovely day here but very windy, off into town soon to get some errands done.
