I went down by car to Cardiff on Wednesday to meet with staff and then travel across to Swansea in preparation for the annual Wales conference about volunteering, which I was chairing. I stayed in a mediocre hotel called the Ibis, which was a bit scruffy. Thursday was the conference, which went well overall with numerous volunteers talking about their experiences, their learning, their motivations, their contributions and what management they received. The Liberty Stadium is an excellent venue.
On Thursday evening I was back in Cardiff at the Express by Holiday Inn (a better one than the Ibis) and liked up with two colleagues for an entertaining evening over an Indian meal. Excellent!
Friday was a meeting of the Social Justice and Local Government Forum preparing for our meeting with the Welsh Minister in November, followed by a terrible ploughman's lunch and the journey home in the afternoon/early evening. I took a new route to keep my spirits up and broke the journey at a couple of castles. Got home about 9.00pm. Rosie was at a party and Jennie was out.
Busy times.

When in Cardiff, I always aspire to visit a certain "poisson et frites" emporium in the salubrious locality of Caroline Street. I heartily recommend the poulet au curry (désosser naturellement) - and cheep as chips (sic). And should your whistle need lubricating after a tussle with a Scotch Bonnett chilli, Clwb Ifor is the only place to be.
