Here’s the first of our weekly round-ups of what the Manchester bloggers are up to.

It seems that majority of bloggers are still getting over the festivities as blogs are still fairly quiet . But there are still a few interesting bits around.

Picture of the week
Ickle Web has kept us all up to date with his travels over the holiday period. But this has got to be the best picture of the week - Paul in a cow hat in Edinburgh. I presume he was there for Hogmoooooonay.

So what have we learnt this week?

The old British Council building at Grand Island is now just a shell - see '. I remember reporting from there on the day it opened. They’d spent a million pounds on a carpet. Wonder where that is now.

Tom has a new camera - see . And like the good little boy he told Santa he was, he's been letting others use it too to take photographs of the sky - see

Almost Witty doesn’t understand Girls Aloud – see

And Corrie’s Gail’s eldest was originally going to be called David Daniel Tilsley, till Gail realised his initials would be DDT - see

Let us know what you're up to via the e-mail address and we'll feature the best of the blogs here. Look out too for some guest bloggers starting next week on subjects ranging from blogging to not blogging.
