Indeed. Can't be entirely surprising at this point though.

We live in Brussels and so we were too close for comfort, especially as we live close to the EU complex. We know 3 people who should normally have been on that train, including a family member, but each person for one reason or another changed their routine and were saved.

It a shame to see fully armed soldiers on patrol in places we like to go. Visions of 'police state'... but they are needed.

We wont change our lifestyle though, so one evening after, we were in a square, that is considered a 'target', this is where Merkel bought chips recently. And the soldiers were out. I thanked one for his involvement and I think he appreciated it.

There is a big march against fear being organised for tomorrow. I hope to see most races and religions attending.

I know how you feel. Our daughter was on the next but one train to the tube which was blown up in London on her way to work in Gower St, about 150meters from where the bus was blown up. It took her years to get over the shock, she had panic attacks when she travelled into Central London so she lost her job (discharged sick) and now lives in rural Rutland, about as far away from cities as you can get. There is a lot of unseen collateral damage from these dreadful acts.

Anyway, when we see you in CE?
