Keep your chin up London. I’m seeing this on the news here in San Francisco.

If the terrorists want to freak us out then I’m officially freaked out.
You’re certainly a braver soul than me - I’m not going anywhere near London.

Thanks sangroncito…chin up…we always do mate.
I think we’re born with that built in…it comes with having to live in a country that has such terrible weather that it almost makes sense not to get out of bed in the morning.
Abs…it sure is worrying but if you do the maths…you’re probably more likely to be hit by a car.
Having said that I am considering buying a bike. hey who knows maybe its all been orchestrated by the green party.
