Excitement this morning on the way to work – Was walking from the other side of Cardiff as had to get bus as car is still snowed in (we live on hills in the valleys)

Two (or three) Cardiff buses crashed into each other on Westgate street.

If my bus was not late I may not have seen it..

You can see my other not in focus mobile shots here, maybe an excuse to upgrade my HTC magic to a google nexus one

What a great Idea Beer Swap is.

I was lucky enough to get some great beers from the Bucks Area in my swap, but I lost the contact details for the person who sent them… so let me know!

The glad tidings was my favourite out of the lot from Vale Brewing company, it was quite bitter but had nice fruity aroma and nice and sweet, closely followed by the Grumpling Old Ale… the barley wine was a nice sipping one and my misses liked that…

Did they know something the millions of Xfactor Fans and maybe some of the judges did not know?

also it’s registered until 24th November 2011 – maybe when they get bored of him?

ok Iam fanning the xfactory flames but I have had enough of these type of shows forcing bland music at us or certain people in my house, I had the headphones on as I was told off for complaining about it!

As you know I am taking part in the beerswap thing and I sent Four Welsh Beers to a chap Called Sean who works for Adnams Brewery in Southwold, Suffolk.

Read their blog review of the beer

My beer reviews will be up very soon! but don’t think I can compare with Sean and Sarahs review!
