Fire breather
Chap was setting up a picnic in the park with this portable pizza oven fashioned like a dragon today. I think he was a caterer doing it for a company outing – they were lucky with the weather.

Two big piles of fly tipping on the Taff Trail today. I reported them and Cardiff council are pretty good at responding. It makes me angry though – they had strewn this stuff from a house clearance across the path & there was broken glass everywhere, like they wanted to cause as much damage as possible. Who does that? I met a woman with a baby in a pram who was visibly upset by it all.
