Finally, coming home from Lishi one evening I noticed all the bins in Northumberland Street had been removed and all the police swarming around with machine guns that day hadn’t gone unnoticed either. Charlotte and I were talking about it later and I said to her, ‘Do you think the Queen’s coming to visit her [...]
Goat Staring
Posted by: Sonya on: December 5, 2009
What seems way back now, in the beginning of November, Charlotte and I were privileged enough to attend the premiere of The Men Who Stare at Goats at the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle. Well, there were actually two premiers. The other one was in New York and had George Clooney and Ewan McGregor. Newcastle’s not [...]

Just a quicke because this happened ages ago, but I didn’t have the time to post about it then because I was busy revising and I’ve only just now found the photo again. One Saturday, when it was still warm enough to keep your windows open, Charlotte was sitting at her desk working on a [...]

If you happened to catch the local North East news on Tuesday evening you may have seen a feature on the opening of the new Planetarium in Newcastle’s Centre for Life, the largest of its kind in the North. Well, Charlotte and I were there.

I don’t know what’s been special about this year, it’s been a nicer summer than we’ve had in recent years, but still not especially warm, but bunnies seem to be absolutely everywhere in Newcastle at the moment. Almost every day now I see bunnies in the green areas on my way to and from work, [...]

We’ve just finished watching The Escapist and I can’t stop thinking about it – don’t you just love it when a movie does that to you!? I wouldn’t have thought this would be my kind of film, and I wouldn’t have watched it if it had been my pick tonight, but Charlotte fancied [...]

Today I discovered this website – www.yourfonts.com – which will create a TrueType font based on your own handwriting, completely free. I think the awesomeness of this is self evident. A doughnut with sprinkles for the first person who can tell me what the quote is from.
