Photo-a-day 152: Domino’s
Wendy and I don’t do takeaway all that often, but I couldn’t be bothered to cook tonight… and it was delicious!

Photo-a-day 151: Tyne Tunnel ventilation shafts
Yesterday, I wrote about the Tyne Pedestrian and Cyclist tunnels. Today, I’m showing the ventilation shafts from the vehicular tunnel. The one in the foreground is the south shaft, and if you look carefully, the north shaft is across the river in the background.
In fact, the ventilation shafts are no longer in use, as the tunnels (now plural) now have a rather more sophisticated ventilation system. However, these twin ventilation shafts have become such local landmarks that they have been retained.

Andrew Lansley’s bad day
If people could actually see inside my brain, all the things I was thinking, it really would be a very bad day.
So said Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, in an interview with Amber Elliott for Total Politics published today. This may be a slightly ill-advised soundbite given that there’s a perception that he’s duping the public with his plans for the NHS.
As it turns out, he’s having a pretty bad day anyway, as doctors have voted to take industrial action over pensions.
