Hampered slightly by seagulls but my first attempt at using the drone to photograph the new Ray Lonsdale sculptures.

My first visit to the new Ray Lonsdale sculptures on the riverside in Sunderland. I love them. Just got a few quick snaps on my phone but I'll be heading back to spend a bit more time with them.

The only 'Blue Monday' article you'll ever need theneuroscienceofeve... It's #BlueMonday again. And this is all you'll ever need to read to know the 'truth' about it Which is that it's a ridiculous marketing stunt that got way out of hand and impacted me more than most people

The only 'Blue Monday' article you'll ever need It's Bluc Monday again. Except is isn't. Because the third Monday i January is NOT the 'most depressing day of the year . Neve has been. And i'm weary of sayin that.

This has popped up on my FB memories from three years ago. Beautiful sunrise over Roker with a dog happily scraping its arse along the beach.😂

The first and bestselling of my five novels, Leg It, was published fourteen years ago. Still sells today and has been the catalyst to many great opportunities over the years. Maybe it is time to get back on the horse and write another one. www.amazon.co.uk/Leg-Alan-Par...

If you've made a New Year's resolution to read more books, where better to start than my series of Sunderland based crime novels. Available on Kindle and in paperback and hardback. See if you can spot the locations on the cover. www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Alan-...

Spent 2024 being a bit of a drone bore and unintentionally found a little YouTube niche as a bridge botherer.😂 Not really my best photos but certainly some of the subjects I photographed the most in and around Sunderland.

Another cracking night at The Fire Station watching The Futureheads last night. Probably helped that Sunderland won earlier but a cracking atmosphere around town all night.

Neighbourhood watch

Cartoon: simple black and white line drawing. A couple in a living room. The man is sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper, head turned slightly towards his wife who is standing at the window, tugging at the curtain and saying "I see the Renegade Master's back once again with the ill behaviour".

Special shout out to the lad who opened the exits in the West Stand after the game yesterday. Felt a bit sorry for the steward just doing his job and sure they were closed for safety reasons, but it was chaos and zero communication.

Some gems on here. The skill of being able to repeat a joke time and again without getting a laugh (but the occasional reluctant smirk) is something that isn't taught in schools.
