This week on Corrie, it's Peter's turn to wear the tabard of shame.

Sunderland International Airshow

Every year there's an international airshow in Sunderland. And as it takes place right outside our front door, it seems churlish not to go and see it. Actually, it's fantastic and this year's airshow has been brilliant.

Here's my pictures of The Red Arrows with a seagull photobombing it. 

Speaking of seagulls, I haven't had a full night's sleep in a couple of months.  Such is life living by the sea. Noisy blighters.

The birds and the bees

To Washington Wetland Centre for the day, and what a great day it was.  I first went there when it was first opened back in 1975, on a school trip. And I'm ashamed to say I've never been since. Until this week - and I can't recommend the place highly enough.

But back to that school trip in 1975. We had a supply teacher from Australia who dragged us bunch of kids along to the Washington Wetland Centre so we could see one of his native black swans.  Happily, the black swans are still there. Go and see them, they're great. You will have an amazing day out.

London bombings - nine years on

I don't want to repeat a blog post I wrote about the London bombings of July 7 2005, but I do urge you to read it.

It's here.

Do not disturb

Today I had the day the likes of which I haven't had in a very long time.  It's a day that I wouldn't want too many of as I spent it alone, on my own, making a start on writing Book Number 2.   It's the only way I can work and write properly and productively. I need silence, I need solace. I need the telly off and people away.  And today I had it, and it's been great.

This week on Corrie, Gail paused her exercise DVD 'Bounce Your Way to Happiness' just long enough to visit another unsuitable man.
