| Northern Ireland is due a mixture of cloud, sun and rain today. Warmer water temperatures in Lough Neagh might explain why flies, once seen as a nuisance, are causing alarm in their absence, a ranger on the lough explains in an interview. Jackie McGregor this week writes about how a friend's heart is breaking after his dog passed away. Roamer writes about how the Royal Observer Corps was active in Northern Ireland after World War Two, keeping eyes and ears on the Soviet threat. Johnny McCambridge writes about how complicated it is to keep laptops, phones and tablets charged. On National Tea Day, I enjoyed our feature on how important a cup is to people like Jimmy Cricket and Miss Northern Ireland, because as a fellow tea addict I have noticed how it is acceptable to be fussy about coffee, but odd to be so about tea. In football, Tiernan Lynch admits Larne's back-to-back Premiership success 'means everything' to him and brother Seamus. In biking, it was a fantastic four-timer for Dominic Herbertson at the Cookstown 100. And in rugby, Ulster's Richie Murphy was encouraged at the win over Benetton but highlights 'Jekyll and Hyde' frustrations.
Enjoy your Sunday reading and the rest of your weekend,
