Anuradha ponders what to do next when our car gave up on the motorway from Hull to Manchester |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am also thinking the same. Apparently. |
|
|
|
|

Car came back to life and we are back in business! It is the motorway summit in England: No mean feat! |

Anuradha insisted on drinking coffee from a straw. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's me, explaning to Anuradha that his childish behaviour is unacceptable. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Whoo Hoo! It's us, in Manchester city centre |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
In front of the Trafford Centre, one of the largest shopping centres in the UK |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trafford Centre is spread acorss an area of 150 acres |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anuradha is stunned by the Christmas lights of Trafford Centre |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am stunned too. Everybody is. |
|

The musical group wants Anuradha to join them and do what he does best: sing Baila. Anuradha says he will consider. |

Overlooking a part of the restaurant area of Trafford Centre. |

Christmas decorations, again. (And also, me.) |

The two Scooby-Doo's were too happy to accompany me home. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Anuradha is also kind to (stuffed) animals |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Somebody alert Neo! It's Agent Smith and his clones coming to kidnap him! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a second, Agent Smith disappears, knowing he cannot fight me. |

Finally I manage to strike a truce between humans and the evil doers from the Matrix |

Looks like a scene from a movie set. |

Considering the level of threat against us, we cannot take our security lightly. |
