Time For A New Post...
Going out tonight and there is not much time to do any of the free heritage events that are happening across the North East starting today and across the UK this weekend(something interesting may be happening near you)and I am governed by the usual issues. And of course weather plays its part too. Spoilt for choice to be honest.
However, all being well I have chosen two events for Friday and Saturday but if I can jiggle them around I may be able to slip in a couple of extra visits. But I shall see. I could possibly look around the church I often see in Sedgefield or the Castle in Durham or Bishop Auckland.
One event is at Seaham Harbour at The East Durham and Lifeboat Centre tomorrow which will take me around two hours to get there and back home(in both directions)I shall probably have seen most of it quite quickly and then will try to see more of the area whilst there. Such as the statue of a soldier with his back to the sea.
The other is the Transporter Bridge at Middlesbrough for a view of the River Tees and the surrounding area. For that I will not attempt the 210 steps to the top but the new lift which has a see through view. I'm not aware that I have problems with vertigo and being up a height but I guess I'll find out.
I think I have finally shaken off what was giving me some health issues the last few days. Sleep has helped the most. For all that I managed a bus ride to Durham yesterday and book a surprise and unexpected play at the small theatre in the city this Monday. I went on to the out of town shopping centre and that went well. But coming back discovered a different bus that is actually fifteen minutes quicker going to and from the centre. Even though there is another more frequent service and has the centre on its destination sign.
Yesterday, I also had another stint of keeping my friend company whilst his Mum visited her husband in hospital after being rushed into there again late last Sunday evening. For all that he may be home by the weekend.
And I haven't even talked of what I did last weekend or posted any images. I will though.
Update:I won £9 at the Bingo so all the money back for the evening(and slightly more)and in a way that was like getting the money back for my theatre ticket on Wednesday and my taxi fare on Monday when the bingo was called off.
Still on for the trip to Seaham and at least I can rest going there and same when there(better to watch the sea roll in and experience a coast I have never visited before)rather than stay here as Summer comes to an end but as I write this update its the early hours and I have had to get up...have a coffee and take painkillers. But its too early to be up so I will return to bed and see if I can get a few more hours sleep.
