Photo-a-day 86: Selfie at the Sage
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!

Photo-a-day 85: Halo
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.

Photo-a-day 84: Disney at Asda
Here’s something I’ve never seen before: a couple of aisles in an Asda store effectively converted to an in-house Disney store. It looks good, but seems a bit out of place among the baked beans and toilet paper!

Photo-a-day 83: Blue zone
My new workplace is an old school. I work in the “blue zone”. My desk is in the “rec room”, next door to the science lab. Maybe one day, I’ll cook my lunch over a bunsen burner!

Most have been empty units ever since. Yet with little fanfare, this one (at least) appears to have undergone a phoenix-like transformation this weekend…

Photo-a-day 81: Cragside
After a week’s (relative!) rest, I’m starting the photo-a-day again! Today, Wendy and I went for a lovely long walk around Cragside – this is our very on-trend selfie to memorialise the occasion!

Photo-a-day 78: Bun Stop
There are many fine food establishments in Newcastle, but I’m not sure that Bun Stop is one of them.

Photo-a-day 77: Changing the flags
I’ve always sort of assumed that the changing of the flags on the Cenotaph would be something the army would do, probably with a little ceremony. It turns out that it’s actually done by a couple of contractors who turn up with a ladder and a van early in the morning.
