Helo World :)

[Fangdango]

Thanks so much @Gracesquirrel

Should we have a roll call? Who's in?

[TheSkatesOfCoachBombay]

Oh hello from sunny South Wales ☺️

[Fangdango]

I'm enjoying the tropics of the South Wales Valleys myself

My poor thread has gone invisible - if I click on the Draignet topic, it's still empty. Is that just me or should I report to site stuff?

I can see you in active! Helo helo from the foothills of Yr Wyddfa! I’ve been working up on Anglesey today and nearly roasted my face off and it’s supposed to be warmer tomorrow!

[SisterMonicaJoansHabit]

Bendigedig! This just popped up in active and I feel all warm inside. Thankfully not actually, it's 30° where I am. Or was. Poeth.

[Jessicabrassica]

Noswaith dda! I work in Wales and I'm learning Welsh. Can I join?

[orangejuicer]

Hiya! I'm in Barry where it is hot, hot, hot!

[Fangdango]

I got on a train full of happy sweating kids heading for Barry Island yesterday and it was the most normal life has felt since the pandemic. (Sadly I was just going to work).

Noswaith dda (trusting you on the mutations)
Would be great to have a Welsh learners' thread

Hola from Mid Glam

[sawdustformypony]

Llandovery!

[Tootyfilou]

Shamai ! Valley girl here too. thank god it's going to rain on the weekend

[Fangdango]

Croeso everybody

This has been the quietest week I have ever known on my street. Normally everyone is out at the front talking half the day - rain, hail or shine but it turns out not in 30° heat actually.

We aren't made for this we keep gasping at each other when we cross paths ...

[Heulog]

Shwmae from Pembrokeshire!

[110APiccadilly]

Helo! Shwmae pawb. Mid Wales here and also hot - though baby thoughtfully woke me about an hour ago so I can appreciate how it's cooler at 4 am.

Not just you, maybe we need more threads?

[orangejuicer]

Just to say I've reported my post fangdango so MN can look at the thread issue.

Bore da o Gaerdydd!

[AlohaMolly]

I have run out of hot weather, work appropriate attire (it’s a total of two outfits, FYI) and I want to cry. Once my boss has left for the day I might relocate to the beach and hover thigh deep in the sea with my laptop…

[TroysMammy]

Hello from Swansea. I've been sitting outside for the last 1 1/2 hours because it's too hot inside.

[Afonavon]

Mae hi’n chwilboeth yn barod! ‘Dw i eisiau awel braf er mwyn gallu dioddef y gwres afiach ‘ma.

It’s way too hot and I fear that I shall melt or turn into a crispy dehydrated human shaped piece of jerky.

[LaMarschallin]

I live in England now and, genetically, am only 25% Welsh.

However, I feel totally Welsh and know who I'd support in a rugby match.*
And my uncle worked with Max Boyce.

As to the language, I wish I knew more. It was compulsory for the first three years of my secondary school, but I missed years 2 and 3 because my father's job took us to live in South America for a while. For some reason, the subject taught in Welsh in my year 1 was the indigenous people of North America (I'm lying a bit here; I'm so old that we were taught about the "Red Indians").

So, I can't tell the time in Welsh, but I can say "The buffalo are running on the prairie".

*Union, obviously. What is this "league" of which you speak?

[tywysoges]

Bore da! The wind seems to be back so hopefully a cooler day today? (The weather app says no! But it also says last sunny day for a while…)

[thevassal]

Bore da from very very (iawn iawn?) caerdydd! Actually hoping for a bit of the wet stuff on the weekend!
