Prisoner In Your Own Home

Not much to report on. As the previous post indicated, Belfast grinded to a standstill last night. Many people left early and businesses closed their shutters. Richard and I decided we were staying in the building until all women and children had left. Our walk home charted along Great Victoria Street and there was a tailback of traffic leading up to and beyond the Grosvenor roundabout. Passengers, stuck in traffic, disembarked and walked the rest of the way home. I wouldn't be surprised if some people abondoned their cars and did the same. A helicopter remained overhead throughout the day and long into the night. The reason? This.

Today seems much quieter. No reports of anything kicking off and hopefully this will pave the way to normalacy but unless the problems are addressed, next year will be the same. In lighter news, Lou, myself, Don and Colin have booked New Years Eve at Achill Island off County Mayo. Hopefully this will snowball into a few others going too but we'll have to play it by ear.

See you tomorrow!
