So I missed a trick last week, the Friday Five questions should have been all about love, seeing as Santes Dwynwen Day was just around the corner. Trouble is, it’s also our daughter’s birthday, so we sometimes have to work quite hard at remembering.
So here they are, a week late - your questions all about love…
1. What is the first thing which jumps to mind when you hear the word ‘cariad’?
2. If you could have a leading role in a Welsh drama series , who would play your fictional love interest?
3. Share with us the most romantic Welsh song you know.
4. What’s the worst date you’ve ever had?
5. Make up your own Santes Dwynwen related question ans answer it…
1. What is the first thing which jumps to mind when you hear the word ‘cariad’?
Maureen
2. If you could have a leading role in a Welsh drama series , who would play your fictional love interest?
George Clooney (simply because of his uncanny resemblance)
3. Share with us the most romantic Welsh song you know.
It’s hard to beat “Myfanwy” - the last line always gets me.
4. What’s the worst date you’ve ever had?
I’ve mentioned this in a previous post. I was stood up (hard to believe, I know)
5. Make up your own Santes Dwynwen related question ans answer it…
Q (I’m not sure if there are such things as Santes Dwynwen cards (let’s hope not) but if so:-
What would you write on a SD envelope to seal it?
A: WSCC “Wedi’i Selio â Chusan Cariadus” = SWALK
Q. Which Prime Minister has done the most to destroy romanticism in the world?
A. Thatcher, the milk snatcher (you have to be old to understand this one)
What is the first thing which jumps to mind when you hear the word ‘cariad’?
Emma
2. If you could have a leading role in a Welsh drama series , who would play your fictional love interest?
It would have to be someone with ginger hair
3. Share with us the most romantic Welsh song you know.
I used to think of Yws Gwynedd’s song “drwy dy lygaid di” as romantic but I actually think he might have written it for his son. Either way, I love it.
4. What’s the worst date you’ve ever had?
Blood from a stone once. Conversation did not flow.
5. Make up your own Santes Dwynwen related question ans answer it…
C) where is the most romantic place you can think of proposing?
A) i proposed in a graveyard in Oxwich Bay so I’m probably not the person to ask.
1. What is the first thing which jumps to mind when you hear the word ‘cariad’?
Pobol y Cwm. They’re often saying “Dw i’n cariad ti” to each other, especially Garry and Dani - or that’s what it sounds like - and I always think, “Isn’t that supposed to be a noun rather than a verb?”
2. If you could have a leading role in a Welsh drama series, who would play your fictional love interest?
Maggi Noggi.
3. Share with us the most romantic Welsh song you know.
‘Adra’ by Gwyneth Glyn.
4. What’s the worst date you’ve ever had?
Falling out of a rowing boat on Roath Park Lake in Caerdydd. Thankfully it’s a very long time ago now.
5. Make up your own Santes Dwynwen related question and answer it…
Q. Why is St Dwynwen the Welsh patron saint of lovers?
A. Because she was thwarted in love, swore never to marry, but instead live a holy life.
Next question…
(hard to believe, I know)
