@manuman61 Sat in a soft play centre whilst the youngest burns off energy - having a rare social media binge!

@SallyJLloyd Hey, thought you were having a lieu day! 😆 I think I've made progress ... but you can be the judge of that in due course!

Back to exhibition text editing ...

@manuman61 Thank you! 🙏

So far I've shaved 50 words off one panel and 49 off another, plus 17 off a shorter one. Ideally I'd like to lose at least another 20 off two without losing context or meaning ... but it's a tricky process.

@KathyBurke A Classic! Was telling younger colleagues about this last week when we were taking about Manc dialect going global in the 90s. 🙏

Very nice to see this doing the rounds again. When I was a little kid I used to go to Manchester and come back with the accent. Harry and Paul thought this was very funny so wrote the sketch. The timing was perfect. 😎

Crisp autumn leaves, warm woolly jumpers… and cosy nights in with other literature fans, thanks to a packed programme of online events. There are just so many good things to look forward to this #autumn! #Manchester #WhatsOn Find out more elizabethgaskellhouse.co.uk/autumn-events-…
