To put last night into context, here’s Belfast this morning. No police presence, just people walking their dogs, going for a run, getting their morning coffee. This isn’t a conflict zone, it’s a city with a few pockets of trouble which a lot of people are trying hard to calm.

Very excited to be Dublin-bound tonight. Things are still far from normal and more restrictions may come, but it’s a far cry from last Christmas, when the travel ban kept me (and so many others) on the wrong side of the Atlantic. So I’m counting my blessings.

Years of living away can make you forget the majesty of an Irish summer night, when the air is warm and it’s bright as anything at almost 10pm. To be fair, we don’t get too many of them, but when we do, magic.

Guy in bar mansplaining to some (non finance girls) that he’s the happiest guy on Wall Street because he took his 401k out of equities and put it in cash. Think I ruined his buzz by asking: “What about the guys who’re short the Dow, are they not happier?”
