Living in fear

Shit! It happened again. A co-ordinated attack, this time no casualties and only major inconveniences but following the same pattern - 3 tubes, 1 bus. Incident escalated from 'minor' to 'serious' within an hour. We are now living with the phrases: 'Situation Amber' and 'suicide bombers'. Men in orange plastic chemical suits and sniffer dogs are becoming a regular and routine site. We don't even seem to notice them anymore.

A man arrested at Downing St. A hospital, where most of the victims of the last bombing are recovering, has been cordoned off after circulated memo warning of attack.

Reading inappropriately titled book on the Tube this morning. 'Big Bang' by Simon Singh. Not clever.
