Work starting on the old @barclaysbank.bsky.social on Wellfield Road #Roath

Estate agent & dentist too.

We’re getting an #AIGrowthZone in 🏴 - @prifweinidog.gov.wales just told @welsh-labour.bsky.social conference in Llandudno.
“This isn’t about Silicon Valley, it’s about the Welsh valleys… we will lead on #AI but we’ll do it the Red Welsh way.”
Lots of #tech in this speech.

Enjoyed the @itvcymruwales.bsky.social @walesgovernance.bsky.social event in @senedd.cymru earlier for chat about THAT poll… appeals for parties to be more open on who they’d work with. I guess the poll points to a Big Q not faced before: would @welsh-labour.bsky.social be a happy junior partner?

Definitely felt a clocks-go-forward spring in my step on a quick day trip to London today: looked up to notice things not seen before, shared a feast at Dishoom, heard a man playing a pipe at Arnold Circus, and - best of all - a warning to be careful on the escalator if you are wearing flip flops!

This article on #apprenticeships in Britain in The Economist only tells the story in 🏴 - if we’re going to get the planned reforms right then we need data and an understanding of what’s been happening across the UK!

Total refurb under way at the Juno Lounge on Wellfield Road - they’re moving the bar and the stairs to the back of the ground floor and the loos are going upstairs. Nice bit of chat with the builders in my lunchtime fresh air

I’m in #Belfast where I’ve had the perfect excuse to go inside City Hall - to see the 5G visitor experience my BT colleagues here have worked with the council to create, ahead of a meeting about mobile connectivity. A fun way to learn more about the city!
