A playground for the body and the brain

[fluffymark]

I couldn’t resist it. I took a detour to the Tate Modern and went on the GIANT SLIDES on the way into work today. Wheeeeeee! They are fab, twisty and very very shiny. You go zooooooooom down the twisty tube and emerge with a huge smile. It’s fun. The smallest slide you don’t even need a free ticket, you just turn up and slide. The others are all free too, but you need to get a timed ticket. I really wanted to go on the huge one, but even first thing this morning there was already a 3 hour wait for it, and that would have been silly. So I got on one of the other ones which was still long and shiny. Wheeeeeee!

Anyway, I want to go back on Sunday, and I want to slide down the the huge slide. Who’s up for this? Plan would be to arrive morning, grab timed tickets, and assuming its a long wait, do something else in the meantime, like Sunday Lunch. Also want to see bad_faery‘s play at 2pm on Sunday, so it’ll have to be before or possibly *around* that. Or something.

Where did my week suddenly get eaten up? Cooking dinner for doseybat tomorrow, bridge on Thursday, Ceilidh at Cecil Sharp House on Friday, and fixing happygoff’s computer on Saturday. Meeep! it was so much easier being a hermit. wah!

Those slides sound like great fun! Do you get to choose what time your ticket is for? ("no earlier than...")

Who's playing/calling at the ceilidh?

Sometimes being a hermit is appealing, yes. Don't mention the m*rtg*ge. :-)

You get a choice of half-hour slots, and can choose which one. So some advance planning would make the wait a lot easier. :)

The Ceilidh is one of the CSH's Scottish Ceilidh Club Ceilidhs and I don't know anything beyond that.

Bah, I will be in Wales! But I'd come another time :)

There will undoubtably be lots more slidings. Just let me know next time you're free to visit London and we can go play on them. :)

yay for slides :)

you'll have to combine it with the fairground rides at the Science Museum (http://www.danacentre.org.uk/events/programmes/6):P
