Thanks to everyone who's texted to check we're okay – in fact, we haven't left the flat today so we were nowhere near anything that might have been going on in central London earlier.
To be honest, compared with some of the stuff the IRA got up to when I was a kid, this sounds like pretty small beer – no worse, just spread across more locations. But we shall see.
Shame it didn't happen 24 hours earier – then we might not have been stuck with hosting the 2012 Olympics.
