Of all the cities in the UK that I haven’t visited, Manchester has been top of the list for a long while. Finally this weekend I managed to remedy this and took a train up to see Mike.

Swan met me up there and we hooked up with Zoe for some early evening drinks and food.

We ended up at some foam party in the middle of the city (something I’ve not done for a few years…) and dancing to Oasis, Happy Mondays, Joy Division and a load of other indie stuff which felt quite appropriate.

I’ve currently in the middle of a Macathon, unpacking the folk’s new iMac and installing Leopard. It’s all very, very nice. And mine is due to arrive tomorrow.
