Not nice news this morning, with the attacks on the tube/buses in London. Thankfully, all of our friends are OK, and Tim got in to work late but with no problems.

I'm not sure how I feel about the media coverage of it all. Both BBC and Gurdian sites have got minute-by-minute coverage and pages of experiences e-mailed in by readers. Somehow it seems a bit excessive, and doesn't actually give any useful information. Makes me think that perhaps 24-hour news coverage is not always a good thing?
