Office and older people Wednesday!

Wow, early start for a business breakfast talk on the 23rd floor of the Hilton Hotel - great views and great points of view. 

The off to Miles Platting for a chat with staff at the Age Concern day centre before laughing with the visitors!

And then our final laugh in Piccadilly Gardens before curry and rice in the local restaurant.

And I forgot to take photos all day!  What a laugh!

Sunday and the festival launches!

The first day of the festival!  Launched in Manchester with an interview with Gordon Burns for BBC Radio (Manchester and Lancashire) then off to the Roby in Longsight to join Rev David Gray and his congregation where the service has a theme of laughter!  We laugh in Longsight at the same time as Jo's group laughs in Edinburgh, Jayne's in South Wales, Jackie in Northern Ireland, Lesley on the Isle of Man, and Saroj in London.


Then listening to His Holiness The Dalai Lama at the Manchester Evening News Arena, to hear about love and compassion and making our world the best home for us in the 21st Century.

And then a Tibetan Banquet, provided by Tibetan Kitchen, meeting in the Friends Meeting House, with a laughter session, and greetings laughter before the meal as we use laughter to say hello and relax with strangers who are no longer strangers!
