and read related stories in BBC and in all possible websites.

Trains I travelled were unaffected. no trace of such thing going on in another part of the city. a calmly flowing announcement now and then reminded us to be safe, not to travel abroad today or to check the flight schedules before going to the airport..

A news about evacuvation from 9 households in High Wycombe comes little shcoking (that is it this huge?). it gives an idea how huge the operation has been going on. Heathrow was shut, it seems, which imo is a huge action.  

If you are travelling this week, if you have option, change it. or take care about what you pack. hand luggage is not allowed at all. Only see-through bags are allowed to carry essential items after checking!

How to break a coconut

August 9, 2006 at 1:26 pm | In food/cooking | 6 Comments

Good question. I totally went blank on how to explain it. My work-friend stunned me with her stories and suggestion from her friends. 1)Keep it in the cven for sometime and it will break (did it not explode in there?) 2) drill a hole using power drill (laughed my heart out). I suggested to use a hammer or a spanner and explained the procedure to break a coconut. I wasn’t going to suggest them to buy a sickle (aruval sickle thaane?). Then came the next question, what to do with the shell? how to remove it. Yes, that is a question difficult to answer. Now I know why that woman the other day was looking at me the way she was when i was selecting a coconut in the sainsburys. I think I will skip the “checking and selecting the coconut” part to the poor girl who asked me the title question. It is too much.
