Photo-a-day 90: Winner

CZ20140416204606031

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!

Photo-a-day 89: Not just a pile of rubble… an M&S pile of rubble

CZ20140414195842202

Until a couple of weeks ago, this was a furniture store near our house… it’s now awaiting the arrival of a shiny new M&S, due to open in November.

Photo-a-day 88: The cushions won

image

This is Wendy’s photo and Wendy’s title, after she found me fast asleep in the living room this afternoon… It’s been a busy few weeks!

Photo-a-day 87: Swan Lake

Wendy and I enjoyed Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake at the Theatre Royal tonight… The theatre was packed by the time it started!

Photo-a-day 86: Selfie at the Sage

image

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

image

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

image

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

image

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!

Photo-a-day 82: Collectables

CZ20140406115703015

All the branches of North East favourite ‘Collectables’ – including the three branches in the Metrocentre – closed about six months ago when the company fell into administration. 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

CZ20140405154447198

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!
