LEAZES DWELLINGS

Had an appointment at the hairdressers this afternoon.  I always buy a Groupon or Living Social deal and go to a different salon every time.  This time the salon was in the Spital Tongues area on the outskirts of Newcastle. So I got the bus to town and set off walking. The salon is about 1½ miles away.

The route took me past St James Park football ground  and I found another Snowdog - OUT ' LINES which was decorated by grafitti artist " Temper ". Then I walked up Barrack Road where I saw the houses in my blip shot. They are called Leazes Dwellings.  They were originally built as council housing but some of them are privately owned these days.  I blipped them because I just like them.

Arrived at the hairdressers in good time.  The lady who owns it works on her own so I was the only client.  She was a lovely lady and we chatted happily as she did my hair.  I think she did a good job. 

Instead of walking back to town I caught a bus.  Did a bit of shopping before I came home.  Weather was sunny and quite warm at times but out of the sun it was chilly.

Sad news today - my brothers and sister in laws big old dog Bailey had to be put to sleep this morning.  They think he had a brain tumour.  He was a lovely dog - a Rhodesian Ridgeback.  A real gentle giant.  I have put a photo in my extras.  RIP Bailey.
