Just checking in to say I'm all right. I have eaten at that hotel many times, one of my favourite places to go for a celebratory meal.

The husband of a woman I used to work with was caught in the blast, and suffered burns to his face and hands, but as far as I know is otherwise OK.

Thanks, Bingley. As "our man in Jakarta," you were my first thought when I heard the news.

glad to hear you're alright. wish the rest of humanity would wake the fuck up.

Indeed Mr B; it's close to home, isn't it, wherever in the world one lives...

My commiserations on the crisis in Jakarta, Bingley. Glad you are all right; please stay safe.

Good to hear you're safe, Bingley.

Very good news, Bingley. Stay safe, inshallah.

WHEW! What a relief. Glad you are OK and thank you for letting us know before we all had "cardiac episodes!"
Blessings -

Relief for you, Bingley. Thanks for reporting in here.

Thanks, Bing Cherie. My first thoughts were for you and Candi as well.

I've just heard that Helena's husband, the guy who was caught in the blast, may lose the sight in his left eye because of his burns.
