This is the building I was heading to in Sunderland yesterday… I did eventually arrive!

Photo-a-day 346: Bargin!
Spotted in Sunderland earlier today whilst completely lost! I always get lost when I go to Sunderland city centre… it’s as if they’ve not yet discovered directional signage for pedestrians!

Photo-a-day 345: Christmas cards
Wendy and I have been writing Christmas cards tonight. Most years, we’d have had them sent out about a week ago, but we seem to be running late on most Christmas preparations this year! And we didn’t even manage to get the cards finished tonight!
I had a slight panic that they might be just too big for a normal stamp, too. But having measured very carefully with the official Royal Mail size guide, I’m confident that they don’t quite need large letter stamps – though it’s a close run thing. Let’s hope I’m right, or we’re about to annoy quite a lot of people with excess postage charges!

Photo-a-day 344: Biscuits
Wendy bought me this brilliantly whimsical money box a few years ago now… I think it’s great!

Photo-a-day 343: Newcastle City Council spreads the festive cheer
This newspaper which dropped through our letterbox today really helps to spread the a seasonal merriment! I shouldn’t joke, though… I know the cuts to Local Government are particularly tough for Newcastle, and there are lots of jobs and services at risk.

Photo-a-day 342: Big cup, little cup
Taken during a break in the Christmas shopping expedition Wendy and I embarked on today. It was exceptionally busy in Newcastle, but we did manage to pick up a few presents!

Photo-a-day 341: Newcastle at night
So this photo of Newcastle at night is clearly a bit rubbish, but you can make out the Christmas lights snaking up the monument on the left hand side.

Photo-a-day 340: Cold relief capsules
With both Wendy and me feeling under the weather at the moment, we’ve been through a fair few over the counter medications in the past week or so… although I have to admit that, in line with gender stereotypes, I’m more often sighted rummaging through the medicine cabinet!

Photo-a-day 338: Shloer
Wendy first discovered this flavour of Shloer at her graduation, and has been on the lookout for it again ever since! Finally spotted it in Asda tonight!
