So we are hosting the G8 summit here in Northern Ireland next week and hosting a visit from President Obama. I work right across the street from where he will be speaking (and apparently staying) all of this week we have seen major security across our city (takes me back to the 70's, if you know anything about Irish/Northern Irish history) Yesterday we saw a fleet of helicopters fly over the city centre (I am no stranger to helicopters, I live in a part of Belfast that sees helicopters flying low above our houses as a matter of course) I have heard that Airforce 1 is already here (really? Does Obama have the time to visit days before his official engagements?)
Anyhoo, my colleagues and I are competing in a spot the FBI sniper competition, they are bound to be on our own buildings roof as well as the roofs of buildings across the way.
Thinking of bringing my Alfie to work on Monday to see if Obama will walk the 50 metres from the hotel to the auditorium and maybe get a photo op.
It is probably weird to think that I have a much better possibility of seeing the president of the United States than people who live in the States.
