Gladioli

The best value flowers at the supermarket at the moment. Just £2 for a bunch of 5. And in a variety of colours. But we seem to have a duff bunch this time. I commented to W this morning that the whites were opening well, but the purples were a dead loss, and was accused of being racist.

I'm now over in Manchester for a day's training tomorrow. Staying at the Midland hotel. Huge room, with two double beds. Though I do wonder what circumstances see full utilisation of 2 doubles.

Last year, in July, I blipped the work to lay the tram lines. In extras is the square across from my hotel, now all finished, and looking very smart.
