Prestwich

Lunch with a former colleague, Jeanette, in a lovely cafe in Prestwich - not one of these two buildings. The sun felt warm today. Wow!

Sad to hear of the death of Mark E. Smith of The Fall, a truly unique character and musician. I only saw him once. A few years ago, I was driving along this very road, about 1.5 miles to the right of the scene depicted, when a person stepped out in front of my car.  I slammed on the brakes.  The figure turned towards me, swore, and made an unappreciative gesture.  It was Mark E. Smith, in character.
