I am OK

I'm currently at the Penguin house in Purley. I just heard about what happened after I got off the plane and went through security, when a very worried American woman asked if I had a mobile she could borrow to contact her daughter to make sure she was OK. I chose not to attempt to go through or around London, so I applied for temporary refugee status at [livejournal.com profile] panzerpenguin's.

I don't know how long I'll be here, but it would seem unlikely that I'll be home any time soon, given the mess that is being reported on Sky News right now.

[livejournal.com profile] doseybat is also OK, and is currently in Southgate.

No. It has a network card. Just set it up and plug it into the long network cable coming out of the router that I was using last week with my laptop. Chances are it'll just start up and work, without you needing to do anything fancy.
