Bastards

I was in a meeting in Cambridge yesterday when I heard. We had travelled by train, via London, to the meeting, so there was no chance of returning home by the same route. However, as is usual in such situations, people pull together and sort things out -- another group at the meeting had come by minibus and had enough spaces to give our group a lift for most of the distance. Many others were not so lucky. I am still awaiting news of a colleague who left the meeting early, and would have been due to reach London shortly after the explosions. His journey was probably not a good one.
