Sheffield Town Hall, PICNIC, Sheaf water feature

1. I went to Sheffield today to a meeting of database users in the Town Hall. So today my first beautiful thing has to be that building which was impressive, comfortable and old in a good way. The meeting was held in the Nelson Mandella Room which has a balcony the looks out onto a big square in the middle of the city. There is a lot of wood panelling and tiled floors and a grand staircase. It occurred to me that Allans grandmother probably used to visit this building.

2. PICNIC = Problem In Chair Not In Computer. This is apparently a popular IT support department code, it made me laugh out loud.

3. There was a beautiful water sculpture by the station at Sheffield and as I came down the hill this evening it was looking magnificent.
