I had a meeting at the Welsh Government Offices today. I’m part of the QA group for the digital competence framework that is being developed for Welsh schools. It’s very ambitious and really seeks to go beyond just building IT skills, and embed digital citizenship throughout the curriculum.
Good meeting, and it was sunny. Had a sneaky beer after with Dave White

Bye bye BBT
It was last game in the Big Blue Tent for the Cardiff Devils tonight. They moved in 10 years ago on a ‘temporary’ basis while the new Ice Arena Wales was built. That got mired in political and financial difficulties, but it is finally opening in two weeks.
We played Coventry Blaze tonight. It was a fantastically frustrating game, we had most of the possession, but were incapable of scoring, and lost 2-1. As well as being a disappointing end to the BBT era it probably means the end of our league title hopes, so a disappointing night all round.
Holmes game
We played a Sherlock Holmes board game tonight. It was alright
Drinking time
With the miserable weather I’ve rather gotten in the rut of walking Bruno just around the same route. It was sunny today and so took him up the forest for the first time in ages. He enjoyed drinking from the stream.
Gordon Sq
Was up to London today for my first ALT trustees meeting. It was in Gordon Square – these squares really are one of the best characteristics of London.
Train cost £224 from Cardiff. For that on Expedia I could’ve got a return flight & 2 nights accommodation in Rome. Still privatised railways FTW eh?
Heartily we greet thee
After 4 months of just miserable, dour rain there are now some hints that other weather is possible. Spring may yet come
Hawks mug
I usually buy a mug on a trip away. I got a Blackhawks one this time
A slip up
Last night the Devils won away at our main rivals, Sheffield. We played them again at home tonight. A win here would put us 6 points ahead. But we lost 5-4, which meant it was only 2 points. The final push for the title will be close.
I don’t like to moan about refs, but our one had a shocker tonight, disallowing a good goal, and not calling anything. But the Devils defended poorly, letting in a couple of sloppy goals.
Hawks swag
Daughter had one Blackhawks hat before we went. She got another in the Blackhawks shop. In the sports museum she saw the Holy Grail – a Patrick Kane signed hat. It was quite cheap, so I helped her purchase it.
