31 October 2010: Newcastle 5-1 Sunderland
Obviously I was gutted to miss this game, but if you're going to watch a great football game
anywhere in the world I would recommend Las Vegas. This was a Sunderland fan crying into the bar
at half time.
30 October 2010: Hash House a Go Go
An oversized breakfast at a restaurant which has featured on Man V Food.

Watching dolphin trainers do their thing at The Mirage.

The view from our room at Imperial Palace, looking out towards Caesars Palace.
27 October 2010: Las Vegas
Not the most exciting view, but a street (Tropicana) which we walked down for miles to and from
a British pub (to watch football!)
26 October 2010: Flight
Flying from Philadelphia to Las Vegas.

Karen's 'funeral scarf'.. don't ask.

Pre-holiday haircut. Note the retro Toon shirt doubling up as pyjamas..

Rach having a cocktail in Wetherspoons in Hexham.
19 October 2010: Memory Stick
Very useful for watching things through the PS3.
18 October 2010: Washing
The washing.. hanging up. Actually, I should probably space that out a little more so that
it'll dry.
17 October 2010: No Pizza
I hate it when I don't leave a slice for breakfast.
16 October 2010: Sports Direct
Sucky new markings on the Gallowgate roof.
15 October 2010: Gym
Just when I've been thinking about joining a gym, this comes through the door. A sign?
14 October 2010: Kandy Box
Anyone who grew up in Forest Hall will remember the Kandy Box, which was an amazing sweet
shop. Well, really it was just a standard sweet shop, but it seemed amazing when I was little.
Anyway, imagine my surprise when I passed the old location and saw this.. is a return on the
cards?
13 October 2010: Stowell Street Works
The work to make bigger pavements (or something) on Stowell Street has commenced.
12 October 2010: Hill
So I'm running, and my foot starts to hurt.. badly. I move down to a walk and limp back, then
I get to climb this ridiculous bank. Great.
11 October 2010: Delays
Went to see Delays at the Academy. Note the traditional tall person blocking my view.
10 October 2010: Bloody Mary
I finally got round to trying a Bloody Mary at the Forth. It was very nice, and came in a
proper glass too.
9 October 2010: Fallen Leaves
I love autumn.
8 October 2010: Foggy Grey Street
It had cleared up a little by this point but you can still see the fog around Grey's
Monument.

Pink Lane/Westgate Road.
6 October 2010: DVDs
A selection of DVDs.
5 October 2010: Cider Festival
On 8 September, I took a photo of the Wine Festival leaflet. Now it's cider. I swear they
are aiming these at me personally.
4 October 2010: Salad Box
The remains of a lovely salad box (with spicy tuna) from Tony & Frankie's.
3 October 2010: Man City 2-1 Newcastle
Massive thumbs down for this game. Dodgy refereeing, and a broken leg for new signing Hatem
Ben Arfa.
2 October 2010: When The Boat Comes In
I don't see how exercise can possibly be a bad thing when it takes me along the Quayside for
this view.
1 October 2010: Jeans for Genes
Today was Jeans for Genes day at work and I decided to accompany my jeans with a splash of
colour.
