Today will mostly be spent ironing and repairing trousers with some dusting and furniture shifting on the side. Anyone who would like to interrupt me demanding coffee and/or a phonecall would be most welcome - although I will also be trying to catch up on 3 episodes of Game of Thrones and 2 of Montalbano.
Bess Cavalier to Bentonbag
Just noticed the picture of Sheamus
Murphy on your Friends section - he doesn't look any different, apart from
shorter hair from 30 years ago!
S4C is on Virgin!
Ferretfingers just showed me!
Yipee - Popl y Cwm
Tylebach Mawr O Duw Duw Duw... You'll have something to discuss with my
dad now!! 😃
Mrs Frayarn The welsh soap opera? It is on 4OD too I think
Bentonbag Didn't use to be on Virgin (or at least I couldn't find
it) It's the only way to keep up what Welsh I have - and it should have been
Pobl!The Pobble who has no toes
Had once as many as we;
When they said, 'Some day you may lose them
all;'—
He replied, -- 'Fish fiddle de-dee!'
And his Aunt Jobiska made him drink,
Lavender water tinged with pink,
For she said, 'The World in general knows
There's nothing so good for a Pobble's
toes!'
*The blackboard should have read “Gwynt Y Ddraig” (which means Dragon’s Wind)
APPENDIX & POST SCRIPT
After posting this I took the boys to the Quayside Market for lunch returning to find the following thread below the link to this blog I'd posted on Facebook
Drummerman Gwynt
y Ddraig was available in both the nice little Welsh pubs we patronised
last month. The name probably describes the morning after over
consumption.
Mrs Leftfoot I have absolutely no idea what either of you are talking about!...
Drummerman Gosh, where to end?
Pobl y Cwm: a Soap Opera on S4C.
S4C: Welsh language TV channel.
The Cumberland Arms: a public house in Byker, frequented by dancers, musicians and other ne’er-do-wells.
Blackboard: where the Cumberland Arms writes the name of guest beers and ciders.
Gwynt y Ddraig: A strong rustic cider.
Wind: euphemism for gaseous bodily emissions as a result of over-indulgence.
Dragon:
mythical beast famous for fiery, noxious gaseous emissions. (Also
National symbol of Wales, nothing like leek or daffodil)
