Welsh General / Questions

A slight change to today. Facebook has been full of heartwarming and uplifting status updates containing list of positive things in people’s lives, so I thought I’d steal the idea…

List 5 positive things about your life as it is now. You can give as much or as little detail as you like.

Have a great weekend despite the rain, keep safe and stay happy. If you’re travelling to the Eisteddfod then have a great journey and a memorable week. :blush:

  1. I moved into my house in Wales two years ago today. I still don’t have any blinds in the bathroom but it’s not overlooked, so s’dim ots.
  2. I left my first telephone message entirely in Welsh this afternoon! I was so nervous.
  3. My cat is still alive and purring. Last week she was with me when I was visiting my mum. She fell out of the 3rd storey window onto the pavement below. No real injury!
  4. It’s raining and fairly cool today in Wales, unlike in South East England whereas it was hot and humid - hence the window being open and the cat falling out.
  5. I am starting a new exercise regime at the gym at 10.00 on Monday. Hope to get fit and healthy!

  4. I’m comfortably on track for running 10km by September.
  5. It’s the weekend. I mean, what could be wrong with that?
