We've taken about 4 different routes two and from work. Today J used Google Maps to find the best route and it came up with the one we tried this afternoon. It's a narrow road, but it skips all the traffic on the A4 and the various junctions. It's good to see the traffic jams on the other side of the road as we head out of Bristol in the morning and come back in the afternoon. Now I just have to decide whether rejoining that jam for one junction to get on to the M5 will be faster than 10 miles of narrow slow roads and then a smaller jam for the next...
You see how mundane life has become. Two weeks ago the decisions were about where in the UK to live. Now it's what bloody road to take to work! However, J has been looking for our next trip. Next weekend we are thinking of seeing Avebury and Stonehenge, Old Sarum and Salisbury. In two weekends we are going to head up to Berkeley Castle for a day of recreated battle and other pageantry. After that it's the school mid-term break, so we are looking for cheap destinations. So far places like Malta, Cyprus, Rhodes and even Kenya have been bandied about, and tonight Bulgaria was thrown into the possibles pile. We were looking at packages, but while they look inviting on the surface, they ultimately mean having a holiday with 45 million Poms. I think we'll look for more flexible options. (Normandy for June 6th is on the cards for one.)
This school's work runs out on Thursday. All the senior students left today (or tomorrow morning) so there will be teachers to burn. I'll have to get around the office temping agencies again. I had a call today from one, but it didn't really suit.
Anyway, ciao for now.
