Barking Station has been closed, everyone is being evacuated, I was about to go there to get the overground to Lakeside, when I left I thought no - where better for a bomber than a busy shopping centre on its busiest day of the week. I will walk to Ilford, loads of people milling around, things just didn't feel right. Decided not to bother going to Ilford even, just take DS to the park. Got outside, still loads of people, one old chap stopped me and told me not to go because they think there is a bomb at the station. I know it is most likely a false alarm but this is really reealy getting to me. I want to get out of London, like, now and go and stay with my parents. Nothing on the news about it either, which is probably a good thing, but still I want to know what is going on. I overlook the tube line here. I'm sorry but I need to rant, my parents are out, DP is in bed on nights and won't want to go over all this right now - bearing in mind all the goings on it is even more important right now that he is able to function well at work. This really is doing my head in.
