We went to bed late and I was last down for breakfast. After going out for a mid-morning coffee at Coffee #1 for a change. walked around Pontcanna surveying the changes in local shops, signifying the continued gentrification of the area. Before returning for lunch, we ended up having a look around the newly redeveloped 'Corporation' pub, as it now seems to be fully open for business and publicizing this in style. A good job they're making of it.

It was cold and windy when Owain and I did a circuit of Pontcanna Fields in the afternoon - the shape of things to come. The trees are stripped of the last of their golden leaves now, a dramatic change in the landscape. 

When we got back we had a go at trouble shooting an issue Owain has with getting his website server to back up all the site content. We weren't successful unfortunately as the ftp password wasn't recognised to allow access and run the backup process. His security notes are all at home so we gave up after an hour of trial and error. It'll have to wait another day. This evening he went out to visit friends locally and I drafted Sunday's sermon before turning in for the night.
