Manchester
     
Today we did go to Manchester to see Simon and Beccy. Our journey was again delayed by forces largely outside of our control, such as the car hire company (Enterprise) simply forgetting that I required picking up from my home address. Grrrrrr. They vaguely made up by giving me a category D (Chevrolet) car instead of category B (Astra), at no extra cost, but then this meant I couldn't get the cost of my taxi journey refunded, which didn't make any sense to me, but when she told me the cost of the car hire (which had mysteriously been reduced), I really couldn't be bothered. It all seemed fine. Yeah. So, we went to Manchester. Me, M**** and A******.

Some stupid image viewing/editing program decided that by rotating an image and saving it, what I actually wanted to do was delete a load of meta data from that file, including the create date, which completely confused one of my scripts that uses that very piece of meta data in order to populate a field in my database. Grrrrr. But otherwise it was a lovely day. We did go to the science (and history?) museum and A****** seemed to love it, especially the journey in the tram and the replica steam engine. Me, I was happy to finally get properly close to Beetham Tower, having seen it from afar many a time.
