Good morning. Grey and overnight rain but I think sun is on its way. Bed before 10.00 and slept till 7.00. Probably a good thing. I woke thinking my chest felt clear, nope got that wrong. I'm already frustrated I can't ride.
We had a lovely afternoon with my son and his partner. Excellent Manchester Italian restaurant called Fumo. I haven't eaten out in a city for perhaps five years. The prices.
From what my lad tells me Manchester will be very messy tonight. Pubs have had two systems running for a while now - table reservation or walk-in. A lot have abandoned reservations because people don't turn up.
The lad's local is a walk-in. Apparently for the semi-final people arriving at 3.00pm were turned away. Their plan for today is four friends are going to arrive at 12.00 to get the table. The pub doesn't do food but is happy for customers to order in takeaway via Deliveroo or Uber.
In '66 my uncle and granddad came round as they didn't have a telly. Mum probably served tea and biscuits at half-time.
Oh how times have changed........
