2025: In Pictures
31 January 2025: Feel Dreamy
Another shop window dishing out a vague attempt at life advice.
30 January 2025: Wrapping
I guess someone was so excited to get into a present that they left the wrapping paper on the bus.
29 January 2025: Scrubber
It's a scrubbing brush but somehow I feel it looks more like something I should be doing push-ups from.
28 January 2025: Alreet Newcastle
I love it when there are efforts to connect with the locals in their own language.
27 January 2025: New Tools
We've got new plates and cutlery. I'm excited to test them out.
26 January 2025: Kirkwhelpington
I went for a walk with Kat and Aidan along a route round Kirkwhelpington. The mist in the distance meant the views weren't great, but the
countryside air was very much needed.
25 January 2025: Seghill Walk
I braved the cold for a walk in Seghill, which only went slightly wrong when one of the paths was completely flooded.
24 January 2025: Hooters
Newcastle is getting a Hooters!
23 January 2025: Rich Happy Luck
I hoped my luck would entail the "rich" part of this becoming true, but alas, no joy.
22 January 2025: Jeans
My first pair of jeans in years! I've mostly been wearing chinos, cords or shorts for quite a while.
21 January 2025: Shirt
I used a voucher to get this checked cord shirt from M&S.
20 January 2025: Overflowing Basket
It's not often I leave myself a large amount of clean clothes to put away on a Monday morning.
19 January 2025: Washing Machine Removal
Today we learned that we are capable of moving a washing machine into a first floor flat.
18 January 2025: Tables
My nemesis - wooden tables to set up for a record fair.
17 January 2025: Friday Morning
I thought the sky looked particularly beautiful today.
16 January 2025: Perplexus
I was perplexed and did not continue.
15 January 2025: Difrent
I can't even criticise the spelling because this is super cute.
14 January 2025: Fought the Law
I had a day off work, which of course resulted in a walk featuring local graffiti.
13 January 2025: Salted Caramel M&M's
Surprisingly chewy, but pretty decent overall.
12 January 2025: Bromley
Newcastle progressed into the next round of the FA Cup with a 3-1 win over Bromley.
11 January 2025: Frost
I love a frosty morning (if I can retreat to the safety of a warm home)
10 January 2025: Wendy's
We now have a local Wendy's. I haven't visited it yet.
9 January 2025: Forever
This is a pretty accurate statement.
8 January 2025: 'T Schuurke
This prompted a google search and apparently it's a bar in Belgium. I have no idea why there's a promotional sticker in Newcastle, but I'll
keep it in mind if I'm ever in Belgium.
7 January 2025: Light Removal
Christmas is firmly over so the decorative lights were being taken down.
6 January 2025: Foil Backing
Since the weather has turned colder I installed a foil backing sheet behind the radiator in a desperate attempt to preserve some heat.
5 January 2025: Snow
We had nice fluffy snow for about half an hour then it rained and turned it all to slush and ice.
4 January 2025: Skeleton Driver
When out for a walk I couldn't help noticing that this driver was looking particularly slim.
3 January 2025: Start
Some words of wisdom just before my working day started.
2 January 2025: Calendar
After not using a calendar for the whole of 2024, we were quick off the mark putting one up this year. We should probably add a few things
to it.
1 January 2025: New Year's Day Walk
What better way to start off 2025 than with a brisk walk?
