    I’ve had a day. Rode my bike in to work this morning, the sun was shining.

  • Crazy Cardiff-ian Crab

    I had a work event in Cardiff last week. What a great city! The sun was shining, atmosphere buzzing and the cab drivers were giving impromptu tours of the landmarks. Our event was at the Coal Exchange near the water. Lots of pretty old style buildings and plenty of happy, welcoming people. After the event
