They've still not managed to paint over Portland Tower in Manchester. The yellow sided building with the Commonwealth Games logo might be a lasting reminder of what was one of the best sporting events ever. Although it's quite warm and the sun is out occasionally, I don't think that the Flamenco is something you see that often in Manchester, so it was a pleasant surprise to see a Spanish couple doing exactly that over on Market Street.

Well off to see if my bank appointment is delayed and stand in a long queue for half an hour.
