The power of Moffat!

Friday 30 December 2011 16:30

That Mr Steven Moffat chap gets everywhere, it seems. Not only the little matter of Doctor Who, and the return of Sherlock on Sunday[1], but also, it seems an occupation of Leazes Park in Newcastle.

Taking a different route through the park in attempt to dodge the raindrops[2], I spotted this sign:

Moff-What?

Moff-What?

What? He’s got his own Pavilion??? Intrigued, I walked on and found an innocent looking wooden structure with this sign on it:

Can it be true?

Can it be true?

Come on, Steven. You can tell us. It’s a TARDIS, isn’t it?  :rofl:

[1] Did I mention Sherlock is back on Sunday?  :bouncy:

Weight and Stuff Report – 30 December 2011

Friday 30 December 2011 16:17
Weight: 214.4 pounds (15 stone 4.4 pounds, 97.3 kg)
Exercise: Walk to Tesco, and a proper walk

Woo hoo! See that weight there? Quite a bit down on yesterday, which would seem to have been a bit of temporary bloatage, and a new low for this year. Can I improve on that tomorrow?

I got up quite early today, and walked to Tesco to do the shopping I’d normally do on Saturday, but as I needed some things today, and I want to have tomorrow free, I decided to get on with it. After that, it was time for a bit of breakfast and catching up with some things I needed to catch up on.

I’d decided to walk into Newcastle and wander round the shops, but once I got across the river, I decided to have a proper walk instead. I went up Westgate Road, then back down by a different route, and came through Leazes Park. At that point, it started to rain, but I didn’t let that put me off until I got to Northumberland Street, when the rain got heavy enough to be annoying, so I did a wee bit of shopping and headed for the bus stop. Garmin tells me I managed about six miles, which is not bad at all.

Now if this works, you’ll see my Garmin walk stuff here:

And if it doesn’t work, you can do the more boring thing and click here.

As I hadn’t been planning on a proper walk, I didn’t take a proper camera, but I did give the iPhone some exercise. Here’s a shop that’s really keen on QR codes.
