Well I havent had much sleep due to the uproar here, all night helicopters hovering overhead, police and fire engine sirens blasting, its a fucking pain in the ass! Things are getting a little too close for comfort, I knew the fire engines were close at 4am this morning but didnt realize it was at the bottom or my road, the bastards had stole a car from someone in my area and set it alight to make a road block, where the car was situated leads onto motorways and other major roads to routes across Belfast, this causes bedlam for everyone.
(the car has been moved into a side street after the fire was put out)
At the minute things have died down but thats only because the fucking hoods are tired after their day of chaos yesterday, im sure it will spark up again tonight. Around my area is generally quiet other than kids kicking footballs into your garden etc you know the normal things, we have a very mixed community here protestant, catholic, coloured, european, young and old people and we all get on very well but we border on the areas of staunch loyalists and about 1.5miles up the road is staunch catholics but theres hardly any crap brought down to here. On a brighter note its sunday and at least I get to spend the afternoon with my family as our usual Sunday 'special' dinner although I have to take mums car to get a new rear window fitted, at least no one was hurt when that happened, material things can be replaced!
My thoughts are with those today in the US on this dark day with the horrible terrorist attacks your country had to suffer.
