Join @clairerandall and I as we find ourselves amongst an amazing variety of sounds at the Musium of Musical Instruments in Brussels. It was quite difficult to get good sounds from the digital equipment provided but, we hope you enjoy this fascinating place as much as we did.

277: #AudioMo Day 21: Review of the Bose SoundLink Mini
The Bose SoundLink Mini is amazing. @clairerandall and I talk about it for a bit; put it down in a few different environments to test its sound. It largely speaks for itself: The most compact mobile speaker from Bose; easily goes where you go; Wirelessly connects to your Bluetooth device; Rechargeable battery plays up to 7 hours and so on. Enjoy! #BoseSoundLinkMini #OlympusLS100

I have neverf seen so much packaging for such small items of food. In a time wherer I thought that we were concerned about the environment. @clairerandall has Bood about this before so, I follow in her footsteps and continue the campaign for less packaging. Photo shows the packaging I am talking about (for anyone following who can't see it)! #VirginTrains #Weetabix #VirginTrains #Weetabix
