Wales Millennium Centre

We had linoleum put down in our en-suite which needed sealing between the skirting board: The shower cubicle also needed re-doing. I hate silicone sealing as there's usually quite a bit of preparation, followed by lots of sticky gooey mess. I bought a fresh tube of white mould resistant silicone and it was the easiest I've ever used for cleaning off skin, damp cloth and material. It all went well. A new looking shower for another year or two!

No sooner had I finished, I had a call out. That went well, and it was back home for some sandwiches before setting out for an early evening blip.

I headed for Cardiff Bay where I took a couple of dozen, the one of The Millennium Centre with the moon and stars overhead, is my fav of the day. A nice bit of colour and always nice to get some stars in! It's a 5 second tripod exposure.

On the way home, on the car radio, I listened to the Rotherham v Cardiff City match on BBC Radio Wales. By half time, Cardiff were leading 3-0. I almost crashed my car!! :)

Back home, and still listening to the radio whilst looking at the photo's, Cardiff let Rotherham pull one back. It ended 3-1. Nice that we got a much needed away win.
