El Draque

This one's for Lovely LadyLaLa, who, I believe might be partial to the occasional Mojito ;-)

I'm in Manchester at a conference and was amused by this advert for the Mojito in my minibar, being particularly impressed by the brief history lesson included in the ad and which I hope you can read.

Good train journey over this morning, marred only by:
- the somewhat miserable woman next to me who did get up to allow me out at Piccadilly, but not until she'd sighed and fixed me with her best 'hacked off' stare (seriously - why do people get huffy on trains when they've to let a fellow passenger out? Why?)
- when lifting my overnight bag down, the train lurched and I ended up with a face full of Antler's finest luggage. My nose still hurts...
- the train then lurched again and a woman in the seat opposite got a closer look at my chest than she'd have liked. When she tutted, I should have pointed out that next time I won't bother holding my bag out of the way and she can have that in her face instead.

Good conference so far, although I'm a bit miffed that I'll not be able to make full use of the wine reception and free wine at dinner as at 9am tomorrow, I have to convince about 200 people that I'm a grown-up. And rather than sit with friends for dinner, I have to schmooze with people I don't know.
