363/121: 20 June 2010: In the wink of an eye..

Visited The Sage at Gateshead again today…this time to see Suzanne Vega. Misjudged the timing a little…got there too late to shop but too early for the gig. Had just convinced Naomi that she really wanted to look in the Baltic when the hooter went off to tell us the Millenium Bridge was going to be lifted.
Quite surprised by how much the whole structure seemed to flex as it was being tilted. Not sure if that was genuine or an optical illusion – either way, here’s a picture of it. It seemed quite a lot of effort for the rather small boat that passed through.

365/106: 5 June 2010: At the Sage

Spent most of today at The Sage, Gateshead taking part in a ‘Come and Sing’ performance of Rutter’s Requiem. A bit of a challenge as my sight reading is OK for musical instruments but not so good (read non-existent) for singing. Luckily the chap I was sat next to seemed to know what he was doing so I sang along with him until I got the hang of it. he was very supportive when I apologised for my tuneless droning.
Anyway – this is a photo a day project, not an mp3 a day, so I needed a picture. sadly it was too dull inside without using a flash so I’ve tried to capture a bit of the outside that gives a sense of location instead.
