I can't remember doing much on the weekend except finally getting a drive in the car. The weather was horrible, so not really conducive to any outside activities. I caught up a little on the stuff I had found in the archives, trying to map places.
Of course the big news was the attempted bombings in London and Glasgow. J and I were very nearly killed. If we had been in London precisely 1 week and 3 hours later we would have been around 600 metres from two bombs that didn't go off! It is good to see that Brown's Govt has kept a less hysterical approach than other attempts have brought. They are referring to 'criminals' rather than 'Islamic terrorists', and there is less of the panic that seemed to follow the 7/7 bombings. It's more like the response to IRA bombings of 2 decades ago. It's curious that attempts to murder multiple people seem at this point to have been organised by several doctors who would, up to that time, have been working trying to save people's lives...
