I’m going to aim for Thursday this week. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the pub!
See you there! :fries:

I read that as ‘It’s been a while since I’ve been to a pub’ and I thought, what’s she talking about? She’s almost always in a pub when I see her (disclaimer: possibly operating from a statistically non-significant dataset).

You are not wrong.
I’ll rewrite that - It’s been a short while since I’ve been to a pub…

I’ll come along with the CDs tomorrow, @johnwilliams_6 and @Betterlatethan :slight_smile:

(I’m proud of myself for having worked out how to ‘@’ people!)

Diolch @rachaelseculer-faber - and I’ll try and remember to bring the Popeth Yn Gymraeg DVD for you

#1017

Diolch, @rachaelseculer-faber. I am still trying to retrieve “Y Gwyll” from my son. He keeps forgetting. It’s extremely unlikely that I will have it by tomorrow, but I have hopes for next week.

Not able to come today - I have a surprise visitor. She obviously needs to learn Welsh for next time!
