10 years ago today in Newcastle Upon Tyne

No apology necessary, Bob. Thanks. I'd like to think I was thinking all that when I framed the picture, but since I didn't have a lot of time I probably just got lucky.

Thanks, Denis.

I was at a meeting to design a research study for a type of physical rehabilitation, Andy. It was really more interesting than it sounds.

The city centre of Newcastle is stunning. Apparently in the 19th century the city burghers decided they didn't want Newcastle to become a drab industrial city, so they all built developments in the centre that featured architecture of a very high standard. And then there are the bridges.

Now, however, I think tourists mainly go there for the big shopping mall (hmm -- same thing in Toronto).

I think people mainly come to where I live because a snowstorm has closed the highway.

Like the PiP and the view. There's a British crime show called "Vera" that we were quite fond ot. It takes place in Newcastle, but most of it is shot outside of the city, so it's nice to see this view.
