A year on...

Seems I have been a little lax in keeping my readership updated with various happenings. Life is still going on and the only real update I can give is that I have buckled and finally joined the ranks of the iOS7ners.
I took delivery of a new "iPad mini Retina" last week. I'd grown weary of waiting for apple to release a phone with a bigger screen  and in frustration I leapt aboard the mini train.
I have to say I am quite pleased with the device and am slowly getting used to the snow blindness which seems to come with the new operating system.  I have discovered that if I go into the accessibility settings I can opt for a black background, though at the moment I can endure the whiteness...

On another front I  picked  up a Sonos Play1 speaker and Air Bridge  package. Have to say the sound quality is pretty good and the convenience of being able to control the speaker from any iOS device  or Mac which is running the Sonos controller is great. Listening to a lot of streaming music at the moment, in particular Soma FM's "Groove Salad", and have added various artists to my collection as a result!
I'm using the Play 1 in the dining room currently and it manages to fill the room without a problem. I'm so impressed I may be adding another Play 1 to another room. It's not as bass heavy as the Play 3 or 5 and for a speaker the size of a coffee can it can certainly belt out the tunes!

UPDATE: Added a second Play1, in the living room, to the Sonos system.
