Northern cool

Our discovery of Manchester continues apace. We have settled well into the flat and I have now, rather satisfyingly, explored every cupboard and wardrobe in our new home. I started "settling in" to my nursery this week. I just go for an hour for the next two weeks but on day 1 I hit the ground running and didn't give Mama a backward glance and I raced over to the painting easel and got stuck in. I was too fast for the nursery staff and had painted my jeans before they could get my apron on! Ha ha! The nursery is full of fun things for me to play with, there are mostly boys in my group, there is even another Joseph which is a little confusing for me. The main toys I like to play with are a calculator (a career in accountancy maybe?) and a kettle (erm?), I have even been pushing a pram round with a another little boy. Fun fun fun. Each morning after nursery we hit the Manchester bus network and explore. We have visited a couple of galleries, an arthouse cinema, and of course some clothes shops! Dadda is here tomorrow - hip hip hooray. Let's hope he brings some sunshine as it has been raining every day.....! xxxxxx
