A small reminder to anyone who’s been living in a hole with the lid sealed: I’m running in the Waterside Half-Marathon in Derry to raise funds for Trocaire . Yes, Virginia, that’s exactly one week from now. And yes, Virginia, I will be running in the um, senior male category. My fund target is £1,000 and so far, with online and off-line contributions from truly generous people, it’s sitting just short of £400. So it’s a bit like the Scottish independence vote: so much to do, so little time in which to do it. The sun is shining; you’re not hungry, let alone dying of malnutrition. Stick the hand in the pocket and help those who live in a very different world from you and me. But do it NOW. It’s easy – just go to https://www.justgiving.com/Jude-Collins1 and lighten your pocket a little and someone else’s burden a whole lot.
i suppose i’d better give you a couple of pound before the Brits and the unionists cut my bru .
