You may have noticed it has been a bit wet the past few days. However in Belfast, we seem to have been spared the worst of it.
The same can’t be said for Newry, where the canal burst its banks.

How is it in your neck of the woods?
I help to manage Slugger by taking care of the site as well as running our live events. My background is in business, marketing and IT. My politics tend towards middle-of-the-road pragmatism, I am not a member of any political party. Oddly for a member of the Slugger team, I am not that interested in daily politics, preferring to write about big ideas in society. When not stuck in front of a screen, I am a parkrun Run Director.
