Question is, am I being addressed by this sign? Or is it a warning? Either way, at least this is the last week of term.

A scene on the campus, often passed, never before photographed. Well, not by me anyway.
“It’s the Internet… stupid!”
Thursday 22nd January 2015, 2.45pm (day 1,246)
Manchester was dull, grey and non-snowy today but this blog is becoming quite Hebden-bound lately and I may as well prove that once in a while I do go to work. Here Simon Nelson, CEO of FutureLearn, boils down his philosophy of life into a few pithy words. He’s probably right.
Entrance to C block
Friday 16th January 2015, 2.20pm (day 1,240)
Was determined that today’s photo should come from Manchester, to break the run of Hebden pics and prove I do turn up at the office now and again. This despite having a photogenic night out (in Hebden) which may have proven a more fertile source than this rather random, albeit well-lit, corridor. But I didn’t take my camera out tonight, so we are left with this one. The corridor. Two fire extinguishers. It’s a thriller, I know.
Graduation queue shelter, Whitworth Hall
Thursday 11th December 2014, 9.55am (day 1,204)
Not a dissimilar photo to yesterday, but what the hell, let’s offer them as a tribute to Manchester; today was the end of the semester in every sense. Congratulations to the graduates, as ever…
Three shadowy figures

As pictured on the steps of the St Peter’s Chaplaincy at the University, a location that has featured once before.
My students try out the Raspberry Pi
Monday 1st December 2014, 2.50pm (day 1,194)
The Raspberry Pi is a small computer which one can buy for £25 and is targeted at kids who can use it to learn programming. That’s it visible bottom right of centre, with all the wires connecting it up to the keyboard and monitor so you can see what you are doing on it — Mandy and Sarah Jane here were using it to compose a version of ‘Jingle Bells’ as it happens. It’s nice to get a shot of people being this engaged in a class…
Near the Arthur Lewis Building, University of Manchester campus
Thursday 20th November 2014, 11.15am (day 1,183)
Another glorious morning. The week has been a lot less stressful than I predicted it would be back on Monday.
National Graphene Institute
Monday 10th November 2014, 9.25am (day 1,173)
The NGI is still under construction and is the building to the right of this image. The background is formed by the George Kenyon Hall of residence, which last appeared on the blog fairly recently, on day 1,133 (1/10/14).
Closed pub, Grafton Street
Tuesday 4th November 2014, 1.10pm (day 1,167)
This pub sits right on the edge of the university campus. But obviously not in a well-frequented enough spot. This is my photography with the ‘social realist’ hat on.
