Last Sunday Mark and I visited Jodrell Bank - the giant radio telescope in Cheshire. It’s quite a nice drive through Wilmslow and Alderley Edge but the road signs aren’t very good so you definitely need a road map with you. The telescope is an impressive sight as you approach the entrance. There’s a big sign telling you to turn your mobile off - I’m not sure how they’d know or what they’d do if you didn’t.
I go to a pottery class every Thursday after work. This is great, except that it doesn’t start til 6.30pm so I have to wait around for an hour and a half. Since I’m trying to avoid shopping - there being a Next, a Boots, a Sainsburys and now a Brantanos lurking between me and my pottery class waiting to leap out, steal my credit card and spend all my money - I generally stay at work so that I can avoid tempatation and maybe catch up on a few things. Sometimes I just can’t be arsed hanging about though. It’s all I can do not to just toddle off home and watch the telly.
