A Double Decker and a bottle of 6quid Malbec really good well together.

Iggy Pup and I will be running in full Santa Kit on Sunday 6th Dec for St Teresa's Hospice. Please donate if you can 👇

🎅 Run Santa run! 🏃‍♀️ A selection of staff from the theatre are doing the DARLINGTON SANTA RUN to raise funds for St Teresa's Hospice Hospice, who'll miss out on the usual post-panto bucket collections this Christmas. ⬇️

Happy 30th to my wife & bessie marra @grace_lanc! 🎉 So sad for her that she has to spend such a special birthday doing the same thing she's done most days since March, staying in the house and looking at my same stupid face! We'll celebrate properly in the after-times pet! ❤

Starting to NYE celebrations early with a buffet I normally like to consume at The Forum Music Studios whilst watching comedy/music. Can't wait to visit again!

Anyone else get a bit of ham, show the dog, them lock him out of the room, drag the ham over the carpet in a random path then hide it behind a table leg and let dog back in to follow the trail? Well you should because it's the only fun thing right now.

Think the US Office is going to have to do the heavy lifting in getting me through this lockdown. Sick as a chip.

Tax return eventually submitted. Those two cans of red stripe in the fridge are going get a battering later.

Just used some gravy granules which had a best before of January 2018...pretty sure that's me vaccinated now.

Happy to be sharing my birthday today with The Covid Arms. Really enjoyed these gigs! Thanks to the wife for getting me a badge!

Just binged 5 seasons of Line of Duty in about a week and now I've got to wait weekly to find out what's happening like I'm in the 90s or something. Absolute nightmare.

It's looking a little grey out there today, the sky almost Lowry-esque. 🎨 Marketing Officer Jonny, who is also an artist and big L.S. Lowry fan, recently imagined how Lowry might have painted the Hippodrome. Let's hope for bluer skies again soon! 🌞

Keep Barking and Carrying On

Cracking first comedy gig back seeing Patrick Monahan at the always welcoming The Forum Music Studios. Stand-up with a side of live harp music - shouldn't work but it did! Top work by Hilarity Bites Comedy Club as usual.

My exhibition will reopen next week at Crown St Library. Thanks to COVID for making it the longest running exhibition in the gallery's history! A dubious honour but so happy to get it open. Thanks to volunteers who will look after it!

Funny coincidence there's talk to paint the Tyne Bridge just as I've realised a range of Warhol-inspired prints of iconic northern colours. etsy.com/uk/shop/thepos…

I think this is a great shame. What an imposing sight this building is when you go past on the train.

You know you've been watching too much #Secretsofthelondonunderground with Tim Dunn & Siddy Holloway when you buy each other the same moquette scarf for your wedding anniversary!

I wonder if strangers ever get a Two Together railcard because they have the same commute. Although it's probably not valid at peak time.
