We hadn't been to the Black Bull in Wylam for Sunday dinner for ages but as usual it was fantastic.
25 February 2017: Ashington
I went up to Ashington with Michael, Sam and Shannon to watch North Shields beat Ashington 3-1. It was weird supporting a
team playing in red against a team in black and white!
24 February 2017: Ali & Wendy
Two top lasses on a typical night out in the "Top House".
23 February 2017: Lal Qila
My first trip to Lal Qila was thoroughly enjoyable. Their 5 course special was lovely, although I couldn't believe how busy the place
was.

I'm reading this at the minute and the subject matter is perfect for me - murder with a backdrop of the World Cup and Olympics
in Rio.
21 February 2017: Wye Aye Thai
This takeaway opened in the local area recently and has been getting very good reviews.
20 February 2017: £1 Win
I had a lazy day off work so this small win when I went out to watch the Newcastle match was one of the highlights. Newcastle
winning 2-0 helped as well mind.

I found this on our old badge board and thought it was great.
18 February 2017: The Stan

After my recent complaint about the salad I got from Tesco, I've received a £1 gift card.
15 February 2017: Quiz Scribbles
Some of my scribblings at the quiz. In this round, pairs of answers rhymed with each other, e.g. Tommy Cooper and
Stormtrooper, so it took a bit more thought than usual.

I went to the theatre with Alison to see Pride & Prejudice, which was excellent.

Remind me not to become a terrorist.

11 February 2017: York
My crew for a day out in York: Sam, Paul, Michael, Leon, Andrew, Darren, (someone random) and David.
10 February 2017: Alsatian
At first glance I was convinced that this coat on the gym floor was a curled up sleeping Alsatian!
9 February 2017: Unwashed
This salad leaf was definitely not "washed and ready to eat".
8 February 2017: Thunderbirds
This show was great when I was a kid. Thunderbird 4 was my favourite - it was so cute!

I got halfway down the street and stepped on a loose paving slab, resulting in this lovely splash of dirty water up my leg.

I couldn't resist buying one of these since I'm a hopeless fidget.
