I was walking through Riverside Park today, when I saw a couple engaging in what I thought was a spot of kite flying. odd spot for it, I thought, and then - "that's a bloody huge kite!".
It wasn't a kite though. It was a parachute and as far as I could make out this was a couple trying to launch a motorised parachute. I suppose it is safer up in the air than on a bus at the moment, but still rather extreme for the times, I'd have thought.
As it turned out, a safer method of transport than walking, however, as I went flat on my face when my foot tangled in a thorny thicket as I walked a bridleway near the cricket ground.
