It was an absolutely gorgeous spring day today. Warm and sunny with clear skies. The perfect antidote to depressing news on the economy and from Northern Ireland.
Seems the ordinary people up north are making their voices and views heard. Thousands have marched today denouncing the dissidents who threatened to return the province to the dark days they’d left behind them.
On the economic front. I heard a suggestion today that the interim budget that’s been announced for April 7th (to help get us through the rest of 2009) should really have been set for April 1st. April’s Fool’s Day.
