It brings in millions for the city, a real boost to tourism. I think Durham will be a little less for not having it. But it was a good event. One of those where you can just take your time, appreciate the art, it’s message, and catch up with friends as you walked.

Given your experience, not irrational at all.

Stenosis. Typically not in adults unless as a result of surgery, but can happen in babies if they have an umbilical hernia.

This little prohibition bar called ‘33’ in Durham. Lovely place, will treat you if you’re ever up.

Boston Harbour? Is that where the water comes from to make Hershey’s? 😂😉

This is, quite simply, an attack on all England.

Deal!

Most definitely! I think we need some Trekkie Americans to come over and show us how it’s done. We will supply to better chocolate though.

Any bonus these days is a joy! Much deserved! Oh, I do envy you Americans at Halloween. Everyone goes full out. Here, it’s a little bit more muted.

It’s good, thanks! I’m a ‘Senior Manager’ now which is just laughable. But I’m working on a few projects and it’s really quite fun, but doesn’t really slow down. But that’s part of the joy. There’s always something different to tackle.

How’s life in Georgia?

Me! And You!

I’ve been here, just scrolling. I started a new job when I got back home so it’s been full on. It’ll be back to book reviews, food & dog pictures, and random updates from now on 😂

Work…always spoils things. But at least you get the fancy digs.

If you have the time, there’s a lovely pub called the Brandling Villa up the road, and nearby Gosforth is always good for a drink or three.

100%. I’m not really in the fandom of Star Wars, but have friends who are and I hear them politely discuss the nuance of stuff daily without drawing lightsabers. Meanwhile, we’re over here with Bat’leths drawn when someone says something about a Tribble.

Agreed. I enjoyed S3 (a lot, actually). I thought it was a great season looking into trauma. It has its issues in terms of how that narrative was displayed and the tropes used, but I found it fun. But if your first encounter with it is the discourse, you’ll be turned away.
