Wasted journey

I won't even begin to describe the reasons behind the farce that my day was, today. It had its ups, to be fair - coffee with the Minx, a quick meeting with a client - but it was mostly spent going down the M6 before turning 'round and driving all the way back up again. And the timing was exactly wrong, such that I had already travelled down the toll road before I had to come back up again. Eleven quid wasted.

Still, one happy outcome was that I could spend the evening with the Minx but when I was about an hour away from her, the satnav suggested I take an alternative route. Well, I'd had enough of the M6 for one day, so took its advice. 

And then spent about an hour in heavy traffic going through Altrincham.
