Made it to Manchester by bus today - the trains don't run early enough on a Sunday.
The second day was quiet, lots of people left early to go home which meant my talk (the last one) wasn't the best attended. However I think it went really well - got laughs where I expected and plenty of discussion at the end.
Getting to the conference centre wasn't too bad, the train arrived early and I had some time to wander around Manchester.
I checked in and waited for things to start. One talk I was looking forward to didn't take place as the speaker was ill - which is a shame. Not many people at the meeting which was also a shame. Still the people who were there were nice and the talks that did take place were good.
In the evening I went along to the conference dinner which was also fine - even better for me as a speaker I didn't have to pay. I made it home to my dad's place okay managing to dodge the Manchester rain.
