Some good news and some bad news

Well yes,

lets start with the good news. London got the go ahead to have the Olympics in 2012. Yes, that is 7 years away but its still very good news. It was very close between London and Paris but we managed to get it even though bookies had Paris as favourite.

Ok, now for the bad news. London was blown up by terrorists today at the middle of morning rush hour. Thats a very busy time. 3 underground stations and a double decker bus were blown up and so far, there have been many fatalities.
Here are some pictures from the scenes there today.
The news has terrofied people all over the world and many countries are now on high alert. A party who say they are related to Bin Laden has said it was them but nobody has ever heard of them. I hope those family's who have lost people today know that they are being thought of and the hope of catching the "people" is strong.
I am so grateful my sister, who used to work in london and would've probably been in that part of london today, is safe and sound in Thailand. I don't know what I would've done if anything had happened to her.
