How to talk to your MP and change the Digital Economy Bill: training at Manchester
Went to the training on "how to talk to your MP and change the Digital Economy Bill" run by Open Rights Group yesterday. There were 15 people there plus those facilitators from the ORG. I've never been to MadLab - cool place, but looks squatty enough to me:-)
Some photos taken before the session started.

Latin Dance
Went to Connections yesterday - finally, after moving to Levenshulme for more than 2 years. Connections is on the A6, right in front of a 192 bus stop. So I keep being reminded of doing ballroom dancing whenever I'm on the bus. And of course, there is a little bit "Strictly Come Dancing" effect here.
Yesterday had been a long day for both of us. So we were not very relaxed in the beginning. The dance was Paso Doble which involves a lot of steps and choreography. I aging brain and aching body did not take that on so well. But I think I wasn't doing too bad.
We were also not the only first-time couple there. There was another (very tall) couple from Chorlton.
Should practice more at home. Next week - Tango.
