&lt;br /&gt;
I am OK, my children too, thanks to all who posted me an email.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yestarday 13 Nov 2015, after 22:00 (10 pm), we have been watching with my husband, mostly through Internet, much faster than TV. Once the presidency declared state of emergency, all French TV-live stopped, to not give any details to enemies. &lt;br /&gt;
We stayed awake until it was over at Bataclan concert theater (where 1500 people were enjoying an evening), a little before 2 am in Paris.&lt;br /&gt;
There is a big solidarity - people were asked to open doors and take on board those in Paris unable to move (no metro), and they did, with twitter hashtags in French, English, German, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
The number of reported killed is 128 as I write it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paris is closed today, 14 Nov, the only open services are Civil Record Registries and celebration of weddings. The list of closed services is long: schools, museums, libraries, all sport’s facilities, food markets (marchés), etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elzbieta&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for letting us know about you. Our prayers for France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
