Lucy has put together a good document about childhood trauma and set of notes about how to deal with today if you have children. They understand it differently, but don't really need special treatment, it is best to talk to them about it.

I'm in a cafe on the Strand in London, on a wifi network, sitting with the ambulances, police and fire engines rushing past behind me to Aldgate. It is now a sad feeling, rather than disconcerting as it started. The news is now more definite, two dead, from the Guardian, the bbc and tfl. Being more connected than those around me is strange too, seeing people oblivious to the true nature of today's events. This is a grim day and too intimate, too close for comfort.
I'm ok, Lucy is too, as is my brother and Abbie. I know that this is not true for others and my thoughts are with those strangers. Police advice is to stay put.

What a surprise, I think it'll be good, I mean London needs a better transport system for definite. Feel a bit odd about it all, as I doubt I'll be in London in seven years time. Good news though for London, certainly there are plenty of excited people in work. According to The Guardian work starts in November.
