Weekend away

So I’ve returned from a weekend away in Wales, which was quite nice. My grandparents, who we stayed with, have just got a new computer so there were lots of questions and bits for me to setup and install so I spent a wet Saturday morning in front of his computer. In the afternoon we went into Cardiff, and found out it was the Cardiff Big Weekend though the rain seemed to have driven lots of people away and there didn’t seem to be much big happening. Instead we went to an exhibition thing where everything was bilingual demonstrating either how little Welsh I’d learnt or how much I’ve forgotten and how similar a lot of Welsh words are to the English equivalent.

Sunday was much hotter, sunny infact. My grandparents didn’t go to chapel so I didn’t get the chance to try and follow their service! We went to a BBQ for Kate who’s leaving to go travelling in a week having completed her two years experience after qualifying as a radiologist. It was nice to see a few people, though it’s also strange how little we seem to know them. Everyone seems to have holiday plans for around Christmas as well so it might be a while until we see each other again! I’ve had a bit of an experiment with the (very few and not particularly good or relevant) photos I took by uploading them to a Flickr set. The site seems to be mentioned everywhere so I thought I might as well have a go, and it hasn’t turned out too badly.

This morning I saw Giles from Welsh, which was nice and have spent the day opening many many Word documents and making them look beautiful!
