Quite literally hot desking, working outside today. #Scorchio

Now that's a great job. Obviously it helps if you have hundreds of branches so you can afford such an extensive refurb and to stay shut for a long time, but still, impressive improvement. (Juno, Roath.)

A kid just got knocked off his bike on Lake Road West. The motorist had no chance - a witness said the cyclist pulled straight out across the road without stopping. He's bloodied and has facial injuries, but if the traffic had been going 27mph+ it would have been worse.

Very warm already this morning on our dog walk in a rather random northern location: Coed Y Felin woods in luxurious Lisvane.

Cardiff Castle will glow red on Tues 6 May as the city marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day. There's a picnic in the Castle grounds open to all on Bank Holiday Monday 11-5, and a ‘Victory Days' exhibition Museum of Cardiff | Amgueddfa Caerdydd too. (Know someone in this June '45 pic from Heath Park?)

A fella who looks like an off duty Father Christmas has on a black T-shirt bearing the slogan I WILL NOT CALM DOWN AND YOU CAN F*** OFF. I told him I liked his shirt (in case it is Santa) but I instantly regretted not telling him to calm down for a more entertaining reaction.

The US government probably blames Ukraine or the victims themselves for this kind of abhorrent criminality.

📰 Great news: TUI is adding more flights and routes from Cardiff Airport, boosting jobs and driving growth across South Wales.

The single from the brilliant Panic Shack, "Girl Band Starter Pack", is out with a video of, um, body doubles, havin' a rather messy day out in Cardiff. Featuring Womanby Street and Fuel Rock Club, and of course Caroline Street. youtu.be/SMl6LSQ8GYs?si…

This evening at Bike Lock cafe, Huw Thomas will be discussing the future of cycling in our city. Event organised by Cardiff Cycle City. cardiffcyclecity.org/events/meeting…

Very sad to see that Little Man Coffee is closing its Bridge Street cafe – a stalwart, a constant, and a symbol of indie Cardiff. (The wife's going to be absolutely gutted.) Rob should be very proud. "It's not the end of the world – just different to the one we'd hoped for."

An impressive acoustic cover of Springsteen's Dancing In The Dark by Aberdare boy John Adams, randomly found on Spotify. open.spotify.com/track/4e1imir3…

Neighbours are having a firework display. It's not even dark. Are they re-enacting the Blitz?

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, there has to be a better way to secure doctor appointments than being kept in a queue for 30 minutes.

I know it's sad but I'm quite smug about my storage solution for Cardiff's red and blue recycling sacks from JYSK, made with hard wood and a steel lid. Never bought a bad product from JYSK, by the way.

Oh nice. 8pm summer closing time at the Res.

Cardiff Castle tonight, commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Forza Inter!

Did you know that Techniquest is celebrating 30 years in Cardiff Bay? It opened 1 May 1995. That makes me feel very old indeed. I remember it being in The Hayes.
