At last!
The locks have been changed on (at least) two ex-SPCK bookshops to keep out the institutional vandals (i.e. the Brewers who bought the chain) who did their utmost to destroy that book chain.

Software Freedom day
Back from the Software freedom day event. Bit thin on the ground but I found it interesting and the speed of the elderly machines was impressive!
The Marbella cafe was good too- soup was appreciated.
Over lunch went to see the classical section of the Manchester HMV shop - I don't recommend it - they've moved it to the ground floor, not separated from the main section. So whereas it used to be a haven there's now just loud blaring pop music. They've also reduced the size of it! Maybe it was elitist before and now it is more accessible but it's a (for me) horrid environment!
