Pub quiz
When a pub gives you paper and pencils there's nothing you can do but draw. Here is an example of such activities. I'm so sorry guys...
Although I believe the original is now in the Bown collection. Fame at last, hey?
We didn't win the quiz, the football round was our downfall. I think we got full marks in the literature round though.

Reinvigorating the region
The building in Gosforth is the one you see from alot of the city and I had no idea it was on pilotis. I think someone (I can't remember the architect) had been looking at their Le Corb picture book but it works great. That bit of height means everyone can have a view across the Town Moor. Although I'm not sure how it works with its immediate context of 2 story 1920-30's houses...?
The Apollo Pavilion by Pasmore was modeled by a couple of friends and has quite an interesting story to it. It's in the middle of a housing estate with some very mediocre houses surrounding it. The people who lived there wanted it knocked down as it has become a place for 'trouble makers' to gather but the architect wanted the houses knocked down so his pavilion would be even more beautiful. I like the mix, the pavilion probably wouldn't exist without the houses. It makes alot more sense in the photo than the sketch...

The smugness of getting something in the post early.
Not to sound like a 5 year old, but I'm really excited about Christmas this year. Alot more that I usually am. I think the reason for this is there are no big hurdles standing in the way. There are no final crits, no bits of dissertation to submit, no bits of coursework. Nothing.
This has given me plenty of time to think about Christmas cards. I actually got the idea from a three year old who did the same thing but I've made it my own. It started with a drawing of a reindeer, which upon reflection looks a bit like a cow.
