Big bada-boom.

I'm okay, if anyone was wondering - I'm so far south within London that I'd probably be in more danger if they were blowing up Brighton :) Hope everyone else more central is okay too.

See london_070705. There's a couple of posts there to check in and say you're OK: A-M, N-Z. Please go in and list yourself and anyone else you know is OK.

There's always something...

Seeming a little inconsequential in the light of today's events, but I just got a call from the guy who is rebuilding my engine (due to be finished tomorrow). Apparently a few additional problems have been found during reassembly. To cut a long story short, the bill just went up by another 250 quid, and it may not be ready for me to collect this weekend now. Ho hum.
