My year as president of the Rotary Club of Cardiff West has now come to an end following our handover meeting this evening. It’s been a great year and we’ve raised money and collected items that have helped many charities and good causes. I was really pleased with our efforts to help Macmillan Cancer Support which was my charity for the year.
I was delighted to accept a presidential citation for our achievements this year.
I’ve been having a few problems recently displaying twitter post on this blog but I think I’ve solved the problems and tweets from both myself and Cardiff West Rotary should now be displaying in the sidebar of my blog.
This week I’m giving a talk on Social Media at Cardiff West Rotary Club, covering Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and YouTube.
On Saturday I delivered John and Amanda’s wedding album to them, they’re delighted with it and love the contemporary style of the album.
Saturday evening I went to a TSB reunion at Tiger Tiger in Cardiff, it was really great to see so many former colleagues that I haven’t seen for a number of years. It was twenty years ago that what was then TSB General Insurance relocated from Andover to Newport. Quite a number of us worked in Andover prior to the move to Newport although very few from that time are still working at what is now Lloyds TSB. It was a very enjoyable evening.
I’ve been very busy recently with quite a lot of commercial photography and personal injury assignments. There’s also been quite a lot of work to complete with the various courses I’m studying which has left very little spare time, luckily the courses come to an end before the busy wedding season.
Yesterday I went to Roath Park in Cardiff to take some photographs of Adam and Sally who are getting married next month. Adam and Sally are having a signing frame at their wedding and wanted a photograph of the two of them for the frame which will be replaced after the wedding with a photograph of them taken on the wedding day.
This is the image they’ve selected for their signing frame.
I removed the distributor from my Mum’s car and then went to K & L Vehicle Dismantlers on Wentloog Road in Cardiff to pick up a used distributor for £15. Back to my Mum’s to fit it and check the ignition timing is still correct, the car is now running fine again. 🙂
At the St David’s Hall in Cardiff this evening to see Steeleye Span, a very enjoyable mix of familiar and new arrangements.
Claire and I went on the Brecon Mountain Railway Here’s a panorama image stitched together from some handheld shots from the Fuji F11.
We called into the KFC on Newport Road, Cardiff this evening.
I went over to my Mum’s this morning and replaced the lighting pull switch in her bathroom and fitted a new Venetian blind in her kitchen. The bodyshop collected the green BMW 525i this morning to repair the vandal damage to both sides.
I had a telephone consultation with my GP this morning, he’s prescribed a further course of antibiotics to be taken if needed but thinks that I’m going to require more surgery. I have the follow up appointment at the Royal Glamorgan hospital next week, we’ll have to wait and see how it goes. 🙁
Mark and Laura called in this evening to collect the DVD slide show of their recent wedding.
I went to Cardiff this morning so that Chris Babbage could MOT the Nissan Patrol, it passed without any problems.
