Photo-a-day 100: Rising Sun Country Park

I visited the Rising Sun Country Park today. It’s the first time I’ve been, despite it being only ten minutes or so from home. It was lovely, and I’ll certainly go back! This picture is of the swallow pond.

image

In 2008, I really really wanted a BlackBerry Storm… and I talked about it so much that Wendy ended up making me this cardboard version, which I found while tidying today!

Photo-a-day 97: Thermometer

image

I often pass this poster in the window of the former Co-op department store in Newcastle, which is currently being converted to a Travelodge. Note that the thermometer appears to work backwards. I’ve never quite decided whether I think this is an oblique hook into the message, or a very strange mistake.

Photo-a-day 95: On a Monday?!

After a busy set of weekend nights for Wendy, and a busy few days for me, we decided to go for a cheeky bit of cake tonight… even if it is only Monday!

Photo-a-day 94: Services of a solicitor

CZ20140424105333554

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.

There are days when I wonder if this is somehow symbolic…

Photo-a-day 91: Wi-i-fi

Dad often likes to make this Geordie-themed joke about the Nintendo Wii, so might be especially pleased to see the Metrocentre using it!
