A cerebral night out

Details
Created: 03 December 2013

Tonight instead of heading home and lolling around on the sofa waiting for the other half to watch I'm A Celebrity, her choice not mine, I headed off to Cafe Boscanova in Boscombe for one of their Cafe Scientifique nights.

On the first Tuesday of most months, there is a talk from an invited speaker. The event is free to attend but obviously you can get a coffee or a glass of wine courtesy of the cafe - also nice to support the venue as well.

Tonight's speaker was Dr Blay Whitby from Sussex University with a talk titled "Do you want a robot lover?". This was mainly on how technology will affect our future lives and can it take a "caring" role, and the ethics or robots and their roles in our lives.

It was an absolutely full house and hopefully it continues to be so. Next one is in Feb 2014.

Just got back from a short trip to America.

Started off with 5 days in Boston and thoroughly enjoyed the place. Beautiful city and very easy to get around. Buildings are nice and not many really tall buildings either so the skyline is lovely. I guess it is probably the most closest to a British feel seeing as this is New England! There's even a place that feels just like Covent Garden.

Then we went to see Graham and family. Lovely to see my niece and nephew growing up. So much more chattier than last time althought it has been about 5 years since then.

Summer is pretty good this year

Lots of sun, a bit of rain and 10+ sets of guests staying at Hotel Fong this year and some from around the world. Very busy and tiring, all that socialising.

Airshow on this week and fingers crossed that it doesn't get rained off like it has done over the past couple of years. Such as shame after a great start.

 

I may get some free time to add some photos, in November maybe.

Very piggy around these parts

Have been to The Tickled Pig in Wimborne twice now and have had nice meals both times. Review here.

I also have a voucher for the Pig Hotel as a birthday present so need to get there for a dinner. Definitely looking forward to that but really not sure when I will have the time!

Is summer upon us? Tempting fate. Beach BBQ time.

Now that the bank holiday weekend is upon us, it looks like, and he says it tentatively, that it is going to be a sunshine filled long weekend.

About time too.

We are also looking to revive the Bournemouth beach BBQ on Sunday 26 May. Don't think we have done it for a couple of years as I think we probably got sick for the wind and occasional rain.

Bring it on.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
