typical manchester
yesterday we had errands to run around town and soon got hungry and stopped for ‘jacket potatoes.’ wendy’s is plain (of course) and zeke’s has chicken curry on top. yes, they call them ‘jacket potatoes’- as if the potatoes were wearing little coats- and they are in stands around town and little drop-in cafes, like this one, for quick, cheap, (somewhat healthy) snacks.
and in our block of flats there are tons of people excited about the world cup and showing their english pride with flags in their windows.
the tiny one below says ‘forever england’
then wendy took a bus to go to an english-themed party with some art history friends (a picture of her manchester outfit is on facebook), but also dressed up were the bus driver and a charity collector for testicular cancer research.
WIZARDS! on the bus! for cancer research?
cheerio from wacky manchester!
