Busy busy busy at work. Long hours, chaotic scenes, much frustration. Bertie is confused of course, but how do you explain to a dog? "Listen, I have to go into work early and stay late because in a far-off country some terrorists crashed planes into some buildings and many, many people died. OK?"

Looking at the pictures and reading all the coverage is overwhelming. So many stories, so many angles and updates and complications; and the fear, pain, grief, anger. It's exciting to work in a newspaper office when a big story is breaking - and they don't come bigger than this - but it's exhausting too.
