Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Fucking Vultures...
Came back after an odd day at work. Everyone seemed subdued. The tubes were empty going to work and not much fuller coming back. Worked without the usual fun atmosphere, trying not to fall asleep too much. Working tomorrow as well - get overtime for that which I need right now... Wondering if my boss has remembered I’m on holiday lol. Well, it’s in the plan anyways Looking forward to Wednesday and Amsterdam, just hoping I have enough cash for it all. Need to remember to phone the council tax people on Monday, there’s something silly going on there and I have no idea what. Grr. Life still seems strange. Felt really very weird coming back home on the top deck of a bus. Everyone nervously looking at each other...people standing downstairs rather than sitting upstairs - very strange and stuff. As the bus went past Aldgate I could see Police Do not Cross tape everywhere, film crews, and a bunch of Scientologist missionaries in bright yellow coats talking to people. Fucking vultures. Using people’s despair and anger to try and bolster the coffers of your cult is about as low as anyone can go. Roads were quite empty - bus was diverted away from Aldgate. Wonder how long it’ll be shut for? Circle, Hammersmith and City lines are totally suspended, there’s a reduced service on the District Line, the Pic is only running a small amount of trains over part of its track, Met is only running to Baker St from the West. Everyone is tense, nobody is sure this is over, it almost feels like the calm before the storm...
