A nonet inspired by the awful happenings of last night…
When will all this fear and hatred end?
Lives taken for no true reason?
Evil, you will not break us
We are tougher than that
We will not run scared
We stand as one
Together
London

Last night I went out for the first time in a long time. And the end of my evening I was made aware of these happenings at London Bridge and then Borough Market.
It saddens, and sickens me, and pretty much all of those around me too. My kids question why?
Lil Man, this morning, said, “When I grow up, I’m going to put posters up everywhere saying ‘Where is the love?’ That’ll help.”
If only it were that simple.
It’s the repercussions that worry me.
Take today. There is a BIG cricket match. India Vs Pakistan.
For those with not much sense, what a great target for a revenge attack!
Pakistan – Muslims!
India – Brown faces!
But most of these terrorists haven’t been of Pakistani descent, and aren’t from India either.
Yet that is not the point either.
I am already having flutterings of panic about going to London next week for the ABBA’s. Still, I won’t let it beat me, and we can’t let these idiots ruin life for us. As long as we, the majority, stand together, wherever we are, humanity will win.

Peace out there Peeps, to you all.
Stay Safe London, and everywhere.
But I Smile Anyway...
