So, the Aged Ps have come and gone. We had a good time that encompassed shopping (my Mum got a new winter coat), a new favourite best restaurant (out goes Felicinis and in comes Ego), a trip to the Imperial War Museum (Dad really likes it - and so do I), a trip to the Lowry galleries (I really liked the 60s photo exhibition) and just generally spending time together. Low points were my Dad's cough, him falling over (no permanent damage) and my Mum offering to dust for me half an hour after arriving!
Otherwise I've been to my Book Group (virtually no-one had read the book - some Margaret Attwood thing and I won't read her after being scarred - as opposed to scared - by The Handmaid's Tale), seen the new Harry Potter (really liked it, the best so far) and am off to the union dinner tonight (Felicinis again). Tomorrow is the Lowry for Slave (apparently not a story of some bronzed demi-god, oiled and in chains) and a Baroque music evening at the RNCM on Saturday. Busy, busy, busy. That's all. J x

Update
So last weekend was London. Rigoletto was superb. And the Royal Opera House has to be experienced. It is fabulous and sumptuous and just all around amazing. The audience is dead posh (natch) but at least they don't eat popcorn, check their mobile phones during the performance and know when to clap (it is all terribly complicated). Loved it. I was somewhat less successful in my quest for a pair of navy blue leather men's gloves. How hard can it be? Well, let me tell you, its very hard. Not even Harrods... Harrods I tell you... stocks navy blue leather men's gloves. However, I did buy a tie and 2 pairs of socks so it wasn't a complete loss.
This weekend its all about cleaning products. The Aged Ps are arriving on Thursday for a weekend of Xmas shopping and the flat is currently a state. I expect dishpan hands by this evening... but then its off to B&M's for a soiree. Looking forward to it immensely. Will be calling into Kris's (my mixologist) new bar on Deansgate Locks first for a snifter. I'll let you know how it all goes. That's all. J x
