Yesterday I sat out in the park at lunchtime, basking, and ate my first ice cream lolly of the season - a real marker.


And today, a ladybird made friends with me, whilst I was sitting in the sun outside my office...



In other news, we're currently hosting some Fuller DMin students in Manchester and it's proving nice to shirk off the reputation as "the rainy city"...

I still do heart camping (yes, even though the weather in Snowdonia early on Wednesday morning finally broke our trusty tent. We picked up a "spare" one for parts to compliment/ replace/ repair the broken one on Ebay for £99. Bargain.)

And yes we must be mad, because even on Wednesday night as we were recovering and warming up in the pub, we were planning how and when to get out there sometime and do it all again.

I hate the Manchester Hilton building.

IMHO, it's a clunky slab of uninspiring glass that dominates the south end of Deansgate. I have to walk past it several times a day to and from home, work, the pub... I particularly hate the step half way up the back that increases the floor area of the flats above and gives the bar a creepy see-through floor section.

But some days its ugliness catches my eye as the weather transforms it. And sometimes it even reflects my mood back at me. The other day (above) its steely flint-grey appearance reflected my own gritted-teeth-head-down week...

And occassionally it has its head in the clouds (literally).
