Well, I am - if that counts! And of much greater relief to me, so is the Firstborn. And my brother was out of London for the day.

Although the Firstborn was distressingly close. I'll cheat and copy the message I sent to Dot:

My daughter was in London. She was on the tube - which went straight through to Euston, not stopping at any stations. She heard, she thinks, the explosion at Kings Cross as they were passing through. She then caught a bus from Euston back towards where she works - and thinks that it was a bus shortly behind hers that blew up. She got to her office, was there for twenty minutes and they were evacuated - whereupon she made her way to Waterloo and caught a train back towards her flat. She texted me and then rang once she got back home - and she sounded very shaken.

Over 33 killed and 350+ injured, they say.

Oh, so glad to hear you are all right, and so is your family! This is so distressing! But thank heavens for LJ and being able to find out!
