Little blackbird that, every evening, sits on a tree in the garden and sings. Every night. It's so adorable Big Grin
I slept well last night for the first time in a few nights Smile

My self assessment is just about done. Only invoicing to do and then wait for my P60 to come from Sunderland Council (my part time job) and then I can submit my tax return Smile

Very efficient!
Normally a Dec/Jan jobby at this end.
Couldn't do it. Submit it earlier rather than later and if you have a bill you know how much etc. Transfer it to savings account get interest on it and pay it off in Jan!! Saves trying to find a large amount of money in a few weeks...
I'm on Go North East 3832

Same here, normally start getting my stuff out around Jan 8th and have it done for about the 20th - which leave me 10 days or so spare, so I don't consider to to be too 'last minute'!
Got an Interview tomorrow with Ora Advertising, just rang me up saying they spotted my CV on Reed and thought I was the perfect candidate.

One positive for what has been a terrible night, my photo of MAX StreetLite 1590 taken in Bishop Auckland yesterday has gotten 23 favourites on Flickr.

I know it's not much to shout about but it has made me feel a bit happier today.

EDIT: now 24.

Ha ha Lol.
Had a nice day taking photos in Middlesbrough today, most of the drivers slowed down and gave a smile and a wave except for one Stagecoach driver who covered his face and started to get angry, although I couldn't hear him because of the brilliant invention: window.

Photos should be on Flickr next Wednesday.

Think I know who the Stagecoach driver will be as there is one that shouts at you for taking his photo and he was working in Middlesbrough today as I spotted him earlier. Used to give me all sorts of shit for being an enthusiast - thankfully he should be retiring soon!
Hope your photos came out well despite your incident later... Got me 3 times lol

He's on my "most hated list" along with my neighbours and of course the world-famous Mr F**kyoffy of Blyth.

Aye, the first two times the photos were rubbish. But the third time was spot on, shame about the camera  Big Grin . I don't know Middlesbrough (ended up on the bridge with scaffolding twice!), so I stuck with that place for a while. 

I blame the respite worker for having a crafty tab in Peterlee bus station, of where a pointed at him and the camera went flying... whoops!

Might return in the summer, I've got a couple of places including the nature reserve by Seaton Carew to get some scenic bus photos.
Watched Fast & Furious 7 this evening. What a brilliant movie, and the tribute to Paul Walker at the end was fantastic.
Internet and TV are working again.
The fact that I get to spend a lot of time with my partner today. Wink

Cant wait to see it myself...F&F is one of my fave franchises...

Was devastated when Paul Walker died...

Did ya know Vin Diesel named his latest chavvy after Paul Walker...
