A further nine arrests this morning in connection to the London bombings. Also, a carefully choreographed political theatre is in process to prepare for a 'groundbreaking' statement from the IRA. This will hopefully mean a complete withdrawal from all violent activities and a total decommission of all its weaponry. No doubt, this won't be enough for Rev Ian Paisly, but still, for the rest of NI it will hopefully mean a kick starting of the stalled peace process and a return to power sharing.
Ran two laps around the downs last night in a torrential downpour. Quite slow, 54 mins, but felt as if I could have carried on for another lap which is encouraging. Going down the wall tonight as it looks set to rain for the rest of the day.
