A full day

I went to Manchester yesterday with Pauline and Lynn my fellow students on the Ruskin MA Course. We met on the train and then went to an exhibition at the Manchester Art Gallery.

Later we adjourned to Manchester Town Hall and listened to a lecture about Ruskin and the Art Fund.

It was like a hall of mirrors. The exhibition was a reflection of a large exhibition held in Manchester 150 years ago, and the lecture reflected a lecture given by Ruskin at the first exhibition. But it was great.

Then I travelled back to Lancaster by train, met Nathan and the station and went to watch Morecambe play Port Vale in the Johnson Paints Trophy. We were down 2-0 at half time but came back to draw level and win a penalty shoot-out 4-2. Brilliant. What a day.

Depression? Not yesterday!
