London's been hit again by four explosions; one injured, and authorities think it's a repetition of the attacks from two weeks back. My parents asked if it would be at all possible for me to postpone my studies for a year. I scoffed. I appreciate their concern, and I'm a tad anxious myself, but I don't think a year or two would make any difference to the probability of terrorist attacks occurring. The world is no longer safe, the UK's not safe, and neither would Singapore be any safer, in this year or the next.

In other news, wetland birds in the UK have been hit hard by drought - numbers of some waders have dropped by 80% in the south-east due to water shortages rainfall and climate change. The lack of water efficiency in homes is taking its toll on poor hapless birds.
