Ha. The opposite of last year’s hwyl yn yr haul. I knew it couldn’t last !
The opposite of the last three, which confirms that it wasn’t me bringing the sun, it must have been either @ianblandford or @atomic_newt.

There’s 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 I’m fairly rubbish at chess, and haven’t 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 “cake chess”, I’ve just invented it, you replace all the pieces with cake and eat all the captured pieces. Anyone?

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!
“Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær.”
Slight improvement … @CatrinLliarJones, keep working on this mate of yours that controls the weather.
Looking at those temperatures I won’t be trimming the whiskers so be ready for an even beardier beardy than usual.

Wasn’t it snowing yesterday (according to what I’ve heard …)

Helo gyfeillion!
Regarding boardgames, don’t 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 can’t resist bringing one to share and don’t mind lugging it along, then don’t 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 I’m 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 you’ll have to ‘get in character’ but you won’t have to dress up or wear make-up (unless you really want to) and we won’t be filming you.
If successful, it should really stretch your language abilities . Throw in some alcohol and you’ve 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, we’re used to mild temperatures. But Pen Llyn does get quite windy. Add to that the fact that there’s still snow on the mountains and you could find yourself in bracing conditions. Also, the fact that we’ve had so much rain since the autumn, means that everywhere is muddy. I’ve 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!

Leave the mushrooms large so I can fling them out (and don’t get madarch mixed with madfall, I don’t 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!
I’m happy with mushrooms but I don’t know about chameleons because I’ve never tried them. Are they easy to find in Pen Llyn?
