A nice day out
Today was a bright and sunny day indeed, till I had to take off my jacket while walking on the streets. I insisted on having a day out to get some sunshine on my face, breathe some fresh air and do some sightseeing as well. I've been ill with cough and flu for about a week and I'm glad there's some recovery now.
Nao suggested a place called Saltwell Park, it's in Gateshead. I decided to visit it since it's accessible by public bus. Took the NorthEast bus 54 from Grainger Street, about 15 mins journey to the park.
And I was greeted with warm sunshine, green grass, clear blue skies and a lovely summer feeling (even though it's just in March).
Like most parks, there is a lake with flocks of swans, ducks and birds roaming freely at the area.
Caught a picture of myself with the lake as a souvenir.
I know I look weird because I had my glasses on. And it was really warm, I had to keep my jacket in my bag.
Took a walk around the park and saw a very familiar sight..
This looks something like our Waterfall Botanical Gardens in Penang. It was a nice outing at the park with the lovely weather. The next stop was MetroCentre for lunch.
And here I am cam-whoring in Chiquitos. Did some shopping after a very long while, I think since Christmas sales or near CNY season. Bought 3 shirts and a new jacket - it's cream in colour, and I can't wait to go out in it. ;)
By the way, I know my dear is gonna be so jealous about this. I bought a ticket to the Newcastle v Arsenal Barclays Premier League match tomorrow. It's going to be the first time after so long in the UK to watch a live match in the stadium.
That's my ticket and seat number that I bought online. I'll be collecting the ticket at the Box Office tomorrow before the match. Finally, I get to wear my NUFC football shirt!!! LOL!
