Next year would have marked 20 years in journalism for me, but after a media career that's taken me from radio to TV, print and digital, tonight I'm signing off on my final BelTel shift and getting ready for a new chapter away from news. Don't think it's sunk in yet!

It's not that long since we got the road built back up after the last downed tree took a chunk of it out with its roots, but #StormÉowyn has claimed another one 😬

18 hours and counting of no power, 4g or phone signal thanks to #StormÉowyn - have had to make it to the office through a blizzard a) to put a shift in and b) to mainline hot tea not made on a camping stove! 🫠 At least the M2 was clear, unlike yesterday, but not a road gritted.

Oh good, the snow's back on and the last lot has gone precisely nowhere...

Pretty snow, but commuter says no - not after last night's trek home! That's definitely working from home weather, especially as it looked less appealing at 5.30am ☃️

You'd be amazed at the number of drivers undeterred by this - would love to see the paintwork afterwards 🙈

Sad day in chilly Ballymena saying goodbye to broadcasting legend Ken Reid, but what a great eulogy from Mark Simpson. Heard so many stories today that would have made Ken chuckle, hope they bring his family comfort.

Flooding out back where a normally tiny ankle-deep stream can usually not even be seen given the height of its bank. I've lived in this area, on and off, for 40 years and I've never seen it even close to this.

Drove home from Belfast and it was dry as a bone the whole way to Ballymena, in a "pfft, weather warning, what weather warning" kind of way. Two mins further along and it's snowing and the roads are like skating rinks. #CulchieWoes

Changed my wee car a few months ago after driving my Mini for 14 years and it has taken me this long to learn to love it. First skiff of snow and we've fallen out again - took four goes to even get out the lane when the Mini would not have flinched... 😬

What a weekend - didn't know I was flying to Germany til I got to the airport gate in Dublin, didn't know I was going to Friday night's DEL game and then got surprised tonight literally outside Technikum in Munich with tickets for my favourite ever musician Myles Kennedy! Spoilt pup! 🥰

Unsure I had the energy for another social platform, especially since the nature of the job will prob mean sticking around through the death throes of X til the bitter end, but here we are and it is a better vibe.
