Noticed this on the Welsh for Adults website. Useful for finding out about coffee mornings etc in Cardiff.

It’s a pity (biti?) that most of these are during the normal working day. Pub quiz tonight at the Mochyn Du! Anyone else going? Gopefully [typo, I think I’m code switching!] it’ll be less busy than Saturday, though the Scottish piper playing Hen Wlad fy Nhadau at half time was awesome!

The Chapter Arts Centre event is late afternoon-evening isn’t it?
Yes, the Clonc ar y Cwtch at Chapter is every Monday evening, it’s a real rush for me after work through the rush hour traffic, but usually there are people there after the stated end time. I wish I lived closer in sometimes!
I went to the pub quiz in the Mochyn du. It was an excellent Welsh work-out. There were only three teams, but I was told that usually there are about 10. I understood most of the questions and even managed to contribute the odd answer. It was a struggle to keep up with my teams chat (I was the only learner), but so so useful. I find i have to struggle to relax into it, because, like with the listening practices and listening to the radio, when I relax I understand a lot more. It’s wanting to understand everything that unrelaxes me, which is daft really. The main thing is that this is normal chat, rarely do people speak in full sentences, which is fine, but it takes getting used to, so it was another good experience for me.
I’m not a pub quiz fan, but doing it in Welsh makes it enjoyble?

Been to the coffee morning there? Down in Cardiff in a few weeks’ time and thinking of popping along.

@ali and Phil, her husband, usually go along to the Mochyn Du pub quizzes. I used to go when I lived in Cardiff and found them loads of fun, even if I couldn’t answer many of the questions. Ali and Phil could be still away skiing at the moment, but I’m sure they’d be glad of some extra team members for the next one.
