Caerdydd

I've just returned from a weekend in Cardiff to see Pete, Dan and Alun who made his way from over in Hampshire where he's working at the moment. Can't really be bothered to write all about it right now, but it was a good few days, we sampled several of Cardiff's bars (including 'Reflex' an 80s themed bar, and the rather nice Richard's) and frequented Creation on Friday night…

While there I noticed that I’m starting to feel separated from being a student now, which is sort of good in a way... not having to worry where the next loan to fund a night out is coming from is certainly a pleasant change. Also spotted a beggar with a Burberry rug, I'm sure that does wonders for their brand image.

Tempted by the 24 box set, need to augment the DVD collection – possibly one to look out for in the new year sales etc. Need to reinstall computer, need to set a date and really do it this time, possibly once I've got some CDRs to put everything on.

I've been listening to my Svenson and Geilen album again, I really like the way that that track 'Fujirama' reminds me of a cold winter's morning driving down icy Welsh country roads. I'm not totally sure where this mental association comes from, but if I remember correctly it might be from my little trip out to Strata Florida in the snow earlier in the year, but who can say.

One more thing, 'riot' 'shot' and 'pint' are all on the same key presses in the T9 predictive text dictionary on my phone. I find this amusing.
