Just did the WRU survey and holy shit is this an awful survey. welshrugby.whatmatterstoyou.co.uk

I mean, it speaks huge volumes that there is no option on this question along the lines "I enjoy rugby". Clowns.

The state of Welsh rugby, but it's tailored for comms idiots like me: I paused this "advert" because the WRU have horrendously cropped their own logo...

Aren't we told all the time that this is a multi-million pound business that has to be administered by the very best professionals?

Amateur.

Took the dog up Llwyn Celyn to have a play with my new camera. Quite like this one of a mushroom i found

Trying out xpan ratio. Wondered how it would preview here...

Finally got a proper camera for my own stuff (instead of just doing work stuff with work gear!).

Already had characterful dog.

Continuing series of Llanishen Park spotting wildlife: bad video (toddler on shoulders) of song thrush?

I summoned a good thing into the world with my terrible* joke and I will not be persuaded otherwise

*fantastic

More terrible phone footage*, but found myself on a hot spot for bat feeding. Two kept buzzing me, about a metre from my head. Llanishen Park is great.

*slowed it down to show is indeed bat

This is terrible footage*, but the pond in Llanishen park is thick with newts and I'm obsessed.

*mobile phone, broken bike light i use as a torch on dog walks...

Pretty skies over Cardiff (pretty enough to hold up to a crap phone shot)

Two sets of glowing eyes watching me and the dog stroll through Llanishen park last night. The fox nearest was mega curious and moved closer to check us out.

Another night cleaning up the streets. The hero this city needs and deserves.

Skies this morning over Llangynidr were amazing. My* apple tree.

We have arrived at the back of the cupboard and the last Welsh school trip mug to be found here at my auntie's

Found another banging Welsh icon mug from the cupboard here. We had our own superheroes long before Welshpool. Aeropress didn't fit in this one though...
