Tues 6th Dec 2011
Haven’t done very much over the last few days but did go with Nick to his tennis club awards in Manchester at the weekend. Stayed over at the Palace Hotel, which is a huge place and was converted from the Refuge Assurance insurance building. (Nice building from the outside see picture below) The rooms were comfy and clean but the hotel is a bit of a maze of corridors. I think it took 20 min to find the room and that was following the directions. It was very enjoyable though.
We got some snow forecast and now it actually does feel like winter outside. I think any snow in the next few days has probably been over egged, but it is coming. Which reminds me that I just got the fuel bills; so it’s off to the cupboard for a jumper.
Last Tuesday went to the Bridgewater hall (see below) which was great. Why are nights out like buses you wait for ages and then loads come along at once?
