seandcI've been a leetle bit slack recently, so I've got a little something that's been sitting on the hard drive that might be of interest to you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
boywhocantsayno, and those with interests in old buildings and theatres - I went out with the camera and got pictures of His Maj and the old St George Hall in town.
His Majesty's Theatre,
Yeah, I'm not used to the settings on the camera yet, so when I forget to turn the flash off, it's a little bright.
This was a bit difficult to get into good position for. The corner buildings have been all boarded up almost right to the curb (grrrr - just for a blimmin fashion store), so getting a good possie was hard.
Four blocks away downHowick Hay Street, St Georges Hall, becoming part of the new extensions of the Central Law Courts.
Also in the construction theme, I was in a gap in the pavement boards on the other side of the street, since they're redeveloping the law courts on both sides at the same time.
And just around the corner (I didn't have to cross any roads at all), a somewhat later entry than the others, the 1956 built Playhouse Theatre.
In other news, I'm now on my week off (*domp-domp ohhh yeaah*). And I chose the right week to take off. Someone who shall remain unspecified declared at last week's staff meeting that there was too much tension in the air, and since appealing to our sense of our section's "principles" wasn't working, he got all fired up to have a meeting this week, after sending everyone off to think about ways to change things. Ye-es. I can so totally see this working - not. 40-50 people, there's going to be friction. And we know it's like 4 or 5 people who cause it, and won't admit to it. None of whom are from the front anyway. And yet, he's all het up about getting *everyone* in there, asking people to reconsider leave etc. Schyeah right. While the inevitable fireworks should be entertaining, I'm not looking to go to an hour or more "how we can all improve" sesh and be all asked one by one for our brilliant ideas. Ah, I so chose the right week off. :D
