Sunshine

Now it's July. Middle of the summer and the sun has shone even here in the North East. I'm taking a quick break from the football festival that is this year's World Cup to write this.

Summer means exams and holidays and festivals to me even though I haven't taken an exam for over 15 years not had a proper summer holiday for five and not been to a festival for over 10 years.

The Summer also means the marching season in Northern Ireland. I was reminded of this when I looked at a colleagues' on line calendar today and saw July 12th marked as a holiday in Northern Ireland.

This has given me the excuse to put this track by Stiff Little Fingers. I hope the youngsters there still want an alternative land.
