Scary and not nice day

Well that wasn’t a good start to the day. Firstly, Zen’s otherwise infallible record at supplying our broadband collapsed and there was no web! Wah! Then there was a rent overdue demand from the landlord, claiming we have underpaid, although I prodded them and they admit we have actually *overpaid* but their computer is being silly.

And then the tube this morning. Oh hell. Eeeeeep! *scared*

Central line was non-stop at Bank and Liverpool street, so I changed at Stratford. Just got on the Jubilee line train when Stratford got evacuated. The driver chose to evacuate the station by closing the doors and zooming the train off at full speed, taking us all for a ride. Train stopped at West Ham, which then got evacuated. The official message they told everyone was power failure but a text from [livejournal.com profile] arkady informed me of explosions on trains and bombs and other nasties. *meeeeep* Very scared. Buses all packed and not going the right way. I decided getting to Wimbledon just wasn’t happening, and that home was just about within walking distance. So I just got home walking all the way. From the sounds of it buses could have been a bad idea to travel on.

So am home and safe and boggling at the news. Scary stuff.

Update: Can hear lots and lots of sirens all over the place even this far out from the city. Still scared. Need a hug.

Stiff upper lip, old fellow. You're alive and well enough to post. Here's hoping that nobody you know is hurt.

*more hugs*

If you want to come round here you can.
I think the W16 will be running still...

You can come over here early if you like? Buses this far out should be fine; or if in doubt get a taxi?
