HOLEEEEEDAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!
Ha. The opposite of last yearās hwyl yn yr haul. I knew it couldnāt last !
The opposite of the last three, which confirms that it wasnāt me bringing the sun, it must have been either @ianblandford or @atomic_newt.
Thereās no such thing as bad weather - just the wrong kind of clothes.
I guess we need to find some boardgames
Anyone for chess?
(As it happens Iām fairly rubbish at chess, and havenāt played in years)
I think @aran and @CatrinLliarJones will keep us sufficiently busy without having to resort to silly things like chess. Unless anyone fancies playing ācake chessā, Iāve just invented it, you replace all the pieces with cake and eat all the captured pieces. Anyone?
Then thereās cake Jengaā¦
Kerplunk using chocolate fingers and Ferrero Rocher?
Connect 4 with peppermint patties.
Works for me.
Even more fun in languages such as Norwegian where it actually rhymes!
āDet finnes ikke dĆ„rlig vƦr, bare dĆ„rlige klƦr.ā
Slight improvement ā¦ @CatrinLliarJones, keep working on this mate of yours that controls the weather.
Looking at those temperatures I wonāt be trimming the whiskers so be ready for an even beardier beardy than usual.Wasnāt it snowing yesterday (according to what Iāve heard ā¦)
Helo gyfeillion!
Regarding boardgames, donāt sweat it. The Jones household has a collection which we bring to Bootcamp every year - Scrabble Cymraeg, Dyfalwch Pwy? (Guess Who), Chess, Draughts, Playing Cards and so on. So unless you canāt resist bringing one to share and donāt mind lugging it along, then donāt worry.
From what I can gather, Mr. J is planning on keeping you very busy this year, with a new twist on stretching your language abilities.
I think, after thought and deliberation, that Iām going to go for a Murder Mystery evening. We did this once in Tresaith and it worked very well. It was fun and really forces people to mingle and converse. Yes youāll have to āget in characterā but you wonāt have to dress up or wear make-up (unless you really want to) and we wonāt be filming you.
If successful, it should really stretch your language abilities . Throw in some alcohol and youāve got a really fun evening on your hands.
It is chilly here in Pen Llyn at the moment. Being on the coast and enjoying the benefits of the Gulf Stream, weāre used to mild temperatures. But Pen Llyn does get quite windy. Add to that the fact that thereās still snow on the mountains and you could find yourself in bracing conditions. Also, the fact that weāve had so much rain since the autumn, means that everywhere is muddy. Iāve been living in boots and wellies for weeks, and still rely on my scarf and winter coat.
Hope preparations are going well for you guys - we look forward very much to welcoming you to Llyn.
By the way, I will have prepared a meal for the first evening. Could you email me at catrin[at]saysomethinginwelsh.com with any special dietary requitrements, to see what we can do. Diolch!
Erm ā¦ What? We have to prepare? I thought this was a relaxing get away.
Leave the mushrooms large so I can fling them out (and donāt get madarch mixed with madfall, I donāt fancy chameleon casserole).
I just hope you all survive this year. Is that really so much to ask for?
Thanks for planning a meal, Catrin - something to look forward to at the end of a long journey.
Am happy with anything and everything!
Iām happy with mushrooms but I donāt know about chameleons because Iāve never tried them. Are they easy to find in Pen Llyn?
