I found this book on the floor behind my desk at work. It’s approximately twice my age. The casual sexism on every page is really quite disturbing. There’s a whole chapter called “Does your wife drive the car?”. I think it’s sometimes easy to forget the degree of (very welcome) social change that’s been experienced over the last century.

Today, I was given a Betty’s gift-bag as a prize in a work-related competition, and had to submit a selfie showing me and the prize to prove that I’d received it! Unfortunately, Wendy is on call tonight, so I didn’t have her stylistic advice and supervision… I hope it’s turned out okay!

In the last row of the balcony! Never even been to level 3 before tonight! The Shostakovich piano concerto was incredible, especially the second movement!

This is Halo, the new sculpture at the centre of the new(ish) Trinity Square in Gateshead. It was designed by Steve Newby, and apparently represents the town’s industrial heritage and the cycle of regeneration. I’m not sure quite what aspect of Gateshead is represented by the wonkiness, though.
