Good/bad - the week ahead

Well the start of my new year has been a bloody shocker!

Bad: either my FESS surgery of 20+ years has failed or my heart is failing - or both! Because sinus infections can travel to your heart! Three GP appointments over the Christmas holidays (to be fair they are doing their best, they really are) and two appointments to come this week - including a chest x-ray at the hospital and then bloods on the 21st. I am a bit of a grumpy, moody, wheezing, shit bag, person. But I have only felt like I was dying in my sleep three times in a week!!

Good: Gruff Rhys - yes he of the SFA - is coming to Solva on Saturday to play his new album at a trial concert. Coming to LITERALLY the smallest, littlest memorial hall in Wales. It's only £20 and 10 minutes from where my parents live. I have a ticket but no one else I know speaks Welsh, so I am going alone if my breathing can handle it (IT WILL! Even if I have to sit on a chair at the back with a brown paper bag!!!) I'm nearly 47 and my mum says: "I can drop you and pick you up if you want a drink chick?" The last time she took me to a concert I was 17!

Kind of feels like the ridiculous to the sublime! Tell me your ridiculous to the sublime - or just your good/bad stuff works fine too!

I hope you’re ok and get your health issues sorted! It sounds stressful!

Bydd gweld Gruff Rhys yn arbennig! (Seeing Gruff Rhys will be amazing)

My DD started at a new school as she has terrible anxiety. She’s managed 2 out of 3 days. Hoping next week is ok!

Brysia wella @Arlanymor! (Get well soon!)

Diolch yn fawr - allaf ddim aros! (Thank you so much - cannot wait!)

He doesn't often come south/west for testing music and to come to Little England beyond Wales is a bit mad! We might be the only two siaradwyr Cymraeg - Welsh speakers - in the room!

I'm going even if they take me in there in a board!

Oh bless her - she's already on a good percentage - onwards and upwards. Sending her all the love and nerth y ddraig (dragon strength!) in the world.

Yes very stressful which doesn't help because hearts hate being stressed!

Os yw'n dda, dw i'n meddwl ei fod e hefyd ym Mancyfelin... If he's good I also think he's going to Bancyfelin...

Haha! I like the idea of you and Gruff being the only Welsh speakers there, but I hope not!

Diolch am y nerth! (Thank you for the strength!)

Rest up this week so you can enjoy!
