Bank holiday

I had a most pleasant bank holiday Monday yesterday. We had a walk to the Schooner, via Visocchi’s. The Schooner had an afternoon of live music, so we stayed there a little while. It was nice to sit outside in the sunshine, listening to music. Making the most of the weather, we walked along the river and crossed over to the Tyne Bar. The place was busy, inside and out, but we managed to find seats. After two or three pints of Taddy Lager and veggie burgers, we set off home. Stopping off at the Bridge. An enjoyable day.

Benton Lane

I’ve been spending quite a lot of time at a bus stop on Benton Lane of late. It’s an average sort of bus stop, with a shelter and a timetable, but no litter bin. There’s one across the road though.

The area around the bus stop’s nice; well, if you don’t look back towards Quorum, or across the road to the industrial park (but even that’s pretty well hidden by greenery.

I quite like the well-used-but-neglected-remoteness of the bus stop. Even the cracked concrete floor looks nice. And the grass and weeds growing between paving stones. I sat there for fifteen minutes this evening. In the sunshine. It was lovely.

Fog

This is day three of fog. How is it that virtually the whole of the UK had nice weather over the weekend while it was dank and miserable here?

To illustrate, a picture of my street this morning.

As a result of the weather, I hardly left the house. But a nice fire meant that the house was snug.

Actually, most of my weekend was spent messing about with computers. But the new computer is now up and running and the old one (which isn’t old at all) has been relocated to another room. It had been destined for the bin, but I managed to find the cause of its regular blue screens.

There’s not a lot inside a computer these days.
