Back To University

[poliphilo]

Ailz is back at  University- restarting the course that was interrupted last Christmas by her gall bladder.

I go with her (as her carer). Today's tutorial was on Mozart's Don Giovanni. We have the same tutor as before- Dr Haughan- pronounced Haffan (It's a Cumbrian name)

Afterwards we had a meal on Manchester's Curry Mile.  The Sanam Sweet Centre is where we went on our first date- 15 years ago.

That's so sweet. I'm touched by that.

Thanks for the pronunciation. I always appreciate it so much when someone else, besides me, finds it important to preserve and inform on things linguistic.

I was calling him "Horn"- which is how it would be pronouced if he came from any other corner of the UK.

Curry Mile?

I really must visit Manchester!

We used to refer to those Australian cricketing buthers as the "wuffs".

It's one of the city's wonders- a long stretch of highway, just past the university, almost entirely colonised by Asian businesses.

We just think of them as those Aussie bastards....

I'm very glad she--and you with her--is going back again to school.

And you are back at the curry restaurant. It's pleasant to think about those days; I enjoyed hearing about them before.

This is actually a different curry restaurant- on the other side of town. Manchester is the curry capital of the western world.
