No I haven't abandoned the blog - I've been away. A fantastic weekend in London with Mrs I followed by week locked in a training room learning how to operate our new production system.
It's a fabulous piece of kit that will enable us to design a great looking Daily Post every day. It's called GN3 - short for Good News 3, the third version of a system designed by an Italian software company called Tera. GN3 also allows us to automatically upload content onto the web - and it gives us an easily searchable archive of words, images, full pages plus (eventually) audio and video.
But all new systems take a bit of getting used to so if the occasional odd thing pops up in the paper, put it down to a steep learning curve.
I had a real treat on Tuesday when those nice people from Scottish Power invited me to Venue Cymru to see the Welsh National Opera's production of Tosca. What a fabulous night!. It's great that this Cardiff-based opera company are such regular visitors. We met some of the cast afterwards who said that coming to Llandudno is always one of the highlights of their season.
A glorious weekend beckons so I will be dragging my fat ass onto my bike for a ride around the Conwy Valley - and if Sunday is sunny I am determined to have a swim in the sea off Anglesey.
Isn't North Wales a superb place to live?
