January 2025
February 2025

28 March 2025: Star Baker
I commented while watching Bake Off that I'd love one of these aprons. Noirin ordered me one and it arrived today!

27 March 2025: Scones
I came home from a frustrating day at work to find that Noirin had made scones! They were amazing with jam and clotted cream.

26 March 2025: Winners
I still haven't got sick of seeing reminders that Newcastle won a trophy.

25 March 2025: Peeled
My cunning plan to hang up the Newcastle flag with tape proved not to be the greatest idea when it peeled off part of the surface of the unit.

24 March 2025: It Starts With Us
I'm not currently reading this but in a household full of keen readers there's always an option easily located.

23 March 2025: Drama Llama
My rogue purchase from the middle of Lidl today was a squeezable llama.

22 March 2025: Oil
We've had a squeaky door recently so when I woke up to a pot of oil on the bench I knew Noirin and Emmett had sorted it.

21 March 2025: Cute Banana
This caught my eye because it was so adorable, but when I flipped the tag round and saw the price I put it back down and walked away.

20 March 2025: Bob Dylan
He's looking a little more green than I would've expected.

19 March 2025: Congratulations
The whole city is still on a high following the recent cup win.

18 March 2025: Irish
I guess this is a remnant of St Patrick's Day celebrations. I can't quite identify with the wording, but it's close.

17 March 2025: Pounce
Sally spent the morning stalking some wool and waiting to pounce.

16 March 2025: Cup Winners
The years of hurt I've endured as a Newcastle United fan finally came to an end as we beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final! I couldn't quite believe it but it was thoroughly deserved.

15 March 2025: Zigzag Hedge
There's been a lot of debate recently about which hedges and trees should or shouldn't be removed for a new housing development.

14 March 2025: Tree Pit
No prizes for guessing what this area of Northumberland Street is earmarked for.

13 March 2025: Obese City
I see what they did there but I'm still going to buy those cookies.

12 March 2025: Bubble Shots
They look pretty but it still doesn't make me want to try bubble tea.

11 March 2025: NUFC
With a cup final fast approaching, Newcastle is gradually becoming adorned with NUFC-related enthusiasm.

10 March 2025: Terry's Egg
These are bloody lovely and about the only thing that could save my horror day.

9 March 2025: Rebellious Act
Underpass graffiti is getting very deep.

8 March 2025: Happy Soul
A walk in sunshine and shorts makes my soul so happy. My timestamp app decided to add a (wrong) location so I had to use a different one and I'm not sure how I feel about the new placement and style.

7 March 2025: Mini Vaseline
These are so adorable I just want to frame them.

6 March 2025: Charging
My airpod batteries made it home with seconds to spare so I was glad to get plugged straight into the charger.

5 March 2025: New Metro
I am still yet to get onto one of the new metros because every time I see one it's still being used for testing.

4 March 2025: Faded
This sign is probably due a refresh.

3 March 2025: Mini Backpack
I don't know how much I'll fit in this but it's super cute.

2 March 2025: Walk-In
I accompanied Noirin to the walk-in centre where she was diagnosed with shingles.

1 March 2025: Spring
I love it when I go out for a walk and start to see flowers emerging.
