Rhayader and other stuff, including SatNav

It was a windy and windy drive from North Wales to Rhayader and back (in other words twisty with gales) but there was a good turnout of County Voluntary Councils (CVCs) to talk about stuff with Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) civil servants. I won't go into the detail. I said I would note down key actions and then ended up writing about 6 pages of comment. I will edit it before circualtion. I am not really very keen on minute taking because it inhibits contributing to the discussion, but someone needs to do it and this is the only meeting I do this for on anything like a regular basis. Do you need to know this?

I have not decided yet how I am going to use this blog. Perhaps it doesn't matter really and I can just ramble on.

Oh, the SatNav (GPS). I am pleased with the MP3 player part of this. It broadcasts not only the driving directions, but also my music, to the radio. I can blast out Duffy or relax to Rutter's Requiem, depending on mood and road conditions. Hmm, what did I do before GPS? Used a map, I guess, and it seemed to work...but this is so easy. I bet new drivers will begin to lose map reading skills - if they haven't already.

Last reflection - It was good to speak a little Welsh today. I am not fluent, but it keeps my brain in gear.
