I've had a fun weekend. I traveled all the way down to Bodmin to give a talk to Brannel Astronomy Club. I think my talk went well, people seemed interested and asked me some interesting questions (at least they were not too random). I got asked by the organisers to try and fit something into my talk. I either had to mention "toilet seat" or "food processors". I went for the toilet seat. Thus meaning that NGC 6822 is now known as the toilet seat galaxy! I have to say Cornwall is such a wonderful place, it looked cleaned and rather picturesque. I thoroughly enjoyed going down their, even though it did take about 4 hours on the train there and the same on the way back. At least I got a seat. The annoying thing on the way back was that Virgin's seat reservation system was down and so I thought I'd struggle to get a seat as the train was packed. Luckily I managed to get a seat quite easily. Once back in Brum I went to Pizza hut with Kat and then to the Troc for a beer or two ...which was needed after that journey. Here are a few images I took during my visit:
On the train:
Plymouth station...just got my connection
Part of the audience, I thought I'd take a photo for a change
Lovely Bodmin Parkway
Lovely Bodmin Parkway, again.
