I think my Mum's feeling better too, but to be honest, when I found out she wasn't in a fit state to help us, I stopped talking to her.
Anyhoo, if there's one thing you really need after an intense 48-hour stomach bug, it's
![The Renaissance](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirihS8oEvj7OJQdeuRAoseytkRdIKhe9Cj_rwJ8pm21r9gzXxlCK3dFVD63Kpbsd5kB9jagdkejPwYcChHX63PEb2lF0CxnS6GMnYxtE6M8gbgK3uJgFNirCXOricW2JLy7iQ_/s400/reanaissance+hotel+1.jpg)
That's the Renaissance Hotel in Manchester city centre, a luxurious four-star centre of opulence, boasting a concierge service, valet dry-cleaning and wi-fi throughout.
Unfortunately I work for the NHS, so I'll be staying here...

That's the Travelodge down the road. It boasts beds, showers, and the look of a block of council flats.
I'll be spending tomorrow night at the latter in order to attend a conference of fellow eye spies at the former. It's next door to a pizzeria, so I think it'll be worth the trip.

Oh dear, I've stayed there. The window didn't shut properly and there was a fire alarm at 3am. Demand the Lenny Henry endorsed Premier Inn next time.
I'm sure they've improved it since then, Becky! Have a good 2 days, Phil.
I've walked past the other place. But haven't stayed at either (I stayed at the theological college down the road when I visited Manchester to do some research). I hope this helps.
Your daughter needs a haircut.
Nice 'Textbook' blog entry :)
