Days seem to be merging into one, so I have put two days together, neither having been all that interesting. At least I have sorted out my software. BlogPress had re-set itself in some way and lost contact with where the photos were supposed to go. Unfortunately, it reported this as a problem with the connection, so I was wrongly blaming port blocking on the wireless connections. Now that I have tracked this down I have been able to post all the photographs which were missing in previous posts.
We have moved into a hotel in Salford for 6 days, so as not to be crowding out our family. The hotel is conveniently placed, being less than a 10 minute drive from the family, and it has a nice outlook over Salford Quays and the Lowry Centre. It is also close to the tram, if we don't want to drive into the centre of Manchester.
We need a fair amount of space to unpack, sort and wash clothes, and then re-pack for Colorado. Winter clothes we have in storage will have to come out so they can be taken to Colorado, and summer clothes, once clean, will have to go into storage. Another thing we have to deal with is the car, as we can't continue to borrow one. Our car has been stored in a garage some distance away while we were abroad, and probably won't start. A lot of paperwork also arrived while we were away, and has to be dealt with and filed into various files which are currently in storage. It is hard to know where to start.
We are off again on 23rd January, and leave Heathrow for Colorado on 24th. Before that, Paul has to visit London a couple of times for various things and I have to go once. So we will be fairly busy.
We'll be back babysitting on Saturday night, then possibly back to the hotel after that - or possibly to a different hotel. (Babysitting is one of the reasons we only booked 6 nights in the hotel). I would have liked to find a serviced flat for the relatively short time we have to be here, but we haven't managed to find such a thing in Manchester.
