Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Bad Things (3)

Sitting here, I am struck by how quiet everything now is. Like the scene from the beginning of 28 Days Later, the streets are empty, cars, people, gone. Its very surreal. The occasional siren cuts through the silence, but a police clampdown on travel means very little activity round this way.

In the background the radio reports are continuing, but with no new news, its primarily speculation and the repeated limited facts.

Whats more surreal is that I was listening to a live feed from Woburn Place, and in the background I can hear the sirens start up, and almost simultaneously I can hear them out the office window.

Thanks.
The city seems so quiet, with the exception of the occasional siren even now. Very sad day.
