Last weekend in Manchester

My tickets arrived today - they look like a cheque book!

Having a silly time this week. First there was beer festival fun on wednesday, which was great.

Then I was supposed to go to Sheffield to see crazy scientist bod Colin Pillinger talk about the Beagle 2 last night, but armageddon put paid to that idea - the whole city ground to a halt in crazy winds, and there was no way of getting anywhere. Cars and lorrys piled up everywhere, no trains, buses gridlocked - madness! Tom* and I found solstice in a pub instead.

Not sure about tonight yet, but tomorrow's my leaving do - going to a great indian in town then some beerage. I thought it was going to be quite small, but last count I think we've got about 16-17 people coming :)


Last weekend in Manchester feels quite strange though. I'm pretty tired & could do with taking it easy, but that'd hardly be fitting now, would it? I'll have plenty of time to rest soon...

p.s. Today's quote of the day:
"I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down."
