Get the bus to Brecon. Go for a walk along the coast. Go shopping in Cardiff. Climb Caerphilly mountain. Walk about Cardiff Bay. Visit Castell Coch...

Down the bay theres a block of cast iron with this poem cast into it

Cargoes

Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amethysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.

Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

And supposedly there are 19 statues and sculptures hidden around the bay, each refering to one of the cargoes - last time I had time to kill I went hunting and I couldn't find a single one! Perhaps you could do better!

I ended up knocking the whole thing on the head, and going to read the Echo in The Packet for an hour.

does look a bit difficult
have to saty in till this is resolved anyways
the buggers are accusing me of abandoning a sinking ship
grrrrr

I was down Cardiff Bay, fucking about looking for statues.

Pop into the g39 gallery if you're in town and check out their new exhibition: The Ballad of Barrie J. Barrie J Davies is the artist/piss taker - he's quite funny.

No. But those people that did attend got a badge. He recently held an exhibition in his flat in Diana Street, Roath. I like his piss-taking attitude and his lo-fi aesthetic.
