oh yipes

Oh dear, I've moved into a new apartment as of one week, and my carpet flooded tonight from the bathroom overflowing. So much for Friday night of fun.
I walked into work last week after having spent a night with no TV, no radio, to find out about the london bombings. Everyone was like oh my gosh where have you been! Like the tsunami, it took me a while to realise the scope of it. Only halfway through the day did I panic when I remembered my friends in london. Then I tried to sms them, but my mobile died. Thankfully one of them, Dee posted up via net, and I was fairly sure she would have said something if Lisa had ben hurt.
Still, I'm getting annoyed that we keep talking about how many Australians have been hurt, as if these things only matter when Australians are involved. Do not ask for whom the bell tolls...
