Gemmill 44814 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 We got thunderstorms yesterday. Cooled the place down so it was "only" a low of 18 degrees overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21592 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Fucking biblical yesterday just after the great north run. Washed all that Saharan shit off my car which was nice. Edited September 11, 2023 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 We were at Seaburn beach from 7.30am with the paddle boards and kayak. I even ended up doing a bit of swimming in the sea and once the initial cold shock was over it was fantastic. Packed up at around 2 as the red arrows showed their appreciation of my sea skills. Only thing that spoiled the day was seeing photos of my man boobs when I got home. Diet started. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13861 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Look at you all, fretting over rain. It’s still glorious here as I sit in a cafe bar that’s played nothing but 60s Motown up to now with Mythos on draft. If my lass wasn’t here, it’d be the perfect day 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13861 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Back from Greece now and not quite fully depressed yet. We were smack dab in the middle of two towns, Kallithea and Afitos. The former was supposed to be very lively but COVID/inflation has obviously kicked the arse out of it. Lots of empty store fronts and the bars were pretty much dead outside of the beach bars full of knackers. Afitos, though, was absolutely stunning. A completely picturesque, old Greek town with outstanding food (had a mind-blowing seafood platter overlooking the coastline at the peak of the village), cool as fuck, laid back bars in the square and the kind of blart that you just don’t get here. I’d well recommend a week in the place if you’re looking at Greece. Will take you an hour from Thessaloniki airport but it’s absolutely lush. Also had the strongest Old Fashioned I’ve ever had in my life in one of the cocktail bars. I don’t know how I didn’t go blind. 5 star location 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44814 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Nice one, sounds class. I haven't been abroad since pre pandemic and I'm pretty desperate for it now. Need my dogshit job situation to work itself out one way or another first though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it’s been years since I’ve had a fortnight break and it felt like I was there for fucking ages The bank balance knows about it as well. And, hope you can get something sorted, Gemmill. I was in the same boat last year and as much as you try and not let it bother you, it’s nigh on impossible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it this way Rent, it could have happened when you were on the train, passing over that very spot - so on the positive side you're not lying under a train and rubble at the bottom of the Viaduct. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. Thing is, it's indicative of infrastructure here after 13 years of cut backs. Things are no longer maintained properly, no wonder we can't build the new infrastructure we desperately need. One day there will be a terrible tragedy. Edit: just for reference, Plessey viaduct also crosses Plessey woods, a park area just south of Morpeth. When I was a kid I use to love walking there, listening to the trains thunder overhead. Thankfully also this happened at night otherwise someone could have been killed by falling slabs.
