Manchester
Jul. 10th, 2008 01:20 pmSunday - drove up to Manchester stopping at various childhood places of memory. Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope, Broome Corner - our old family house for 10 years, now totally changed, Alderley Edge main street - now so many cafe's and fancy stuff and The Edge itself - only time for a little walk round but unchanged. then on to fancy appartment - a little smaller than i;d imagined but groovy - some of the light fittings proving to be more design than function. Then dinner locally which didn't totally agree with me - cream sauces don;t like me.
Monday
- some shopping - i scored some cool books - a Bruce Sterling short story book, Fred Pohl Gateway latest part and a history of the Theremin book i;ve heard about but not seen. Unfortunately either my old cold came back or i got another bug which rather rained me in the next coupla days with mild fever to boot. We dined in and went out for walk and drink later.
Tues
Went to Tatton park which again i;d not been to since a child. Was still feeling a bit ropey. In evening went to Wagamama for dinner which was excellent. Tofu veg noodle soup does agree with me.
Weds -
went to John Rylands Library - strange 1900 gothic churchy looking library - saw the earliest fragment of the new testament in existance about 150AD. Back to the flat fr me as was still a bit fevery. Rallied enough to go to the Theatre - hadn't been to the Royal Exchange theatre since many times as a youth - we saw Noel Coward's Hay Fever with Belinda Lang and Lysette Anthony. Top notch. Feeling a bit better.
