- Go to Back to Normal?
Re:
Thank you :) It took a while, but I think I stopped feeling the fear constantly... and the strange thing is I remember the years and years of being here on buses and trains etc. and having to get off because of IRA bomb threats, but I don't remember ever being scared about that. Maybe I was too young to understand it properly.
Of course.. a couple of years ago we had the series of bombs in London on 7/7 - they were all pretty near me but I was lucky, I was at home that day. All I could hear all day were sirens.. and we were told to stay inside. I found out a while later that a lovely woman I had worked for once had been killed in one of the underground bombings that day...
...oops.. have a tendency to ramble! I should join.... Blogit!

I think you're pretty normal for feeling all those things. Of course if you were to stop your daily routine then the terrorist would have been successful. People want things to be normal which may attribute to the mundane attitude towards things. I remember riding the tubes from Hertsfordshire to London...I always wondered about the IRA bombs. One day at King;s Cross we were asked to abort the tube so they could search. We all got back on like it was a normal thing, but I think all of us had a vision of a bomb beneath our seats. You have good security over there....top of the line. Don't live in fear my friend.
