Hi all - this week a Gog who says ‘gedru’! A mix of medru and gallu - yes, it’s a thing. She talks about jewellery making, weightlifting and working for an MP…

Hi Beca. I’ve been trying to find Nia’s shop on Etsy, but I’m obviously not understanding what to look for. The shop number doesn’t seem to get me anywhere.
Would you be able to post a link, of perhaps a photograph? Her description of her process is fascinating, but I can’t visualise the end result.

Annoying how Loti the dog understands more than me.
Having said that we did meet a dog who couldn’t understand English (admittedly that was in France).
I wonder how many different languages a dog could learn.

Apparently there’s a book on teaching your dog Welsh!

Thank you! They’re lovely. Very glad to see I more or less correctly interpreted the reference to Welsh blankets. And I might be in the market for a Mother’s Day present. 
My goodness, Nia talks fast though. Even after reading the trawsgriff there are still whole sections where I just cannot catch the individual words as they fly past. I’d swear Aran and Catrin at double speed are slower. It’s making me very nervous about the prospects of understanding anything ‘in the wild’ when I come to Caernarfon in May

Even faster than me…?! Some would disagree…!
The necklaces are lovely aren’t they.

Nothing is that quick Beca but you don’t get chance for much of a run up in this one… 
…ond mae’n hedfan heibio - onid ydy? 
By accident last week I discovered how much better I could hear what was said using my Bluetooth headphones and not driving at the same time (which is NOT the same as understanding it)… 
…so, I’m trying a little experiment this week and listening over - I haven’t looked at the transcript yet…
I will have to eventually of course!!
( I wonder what a pug crossed with an eagle 
looks like - I swear the ‘b’ has gone missing on the recording! )
I am becoming convinced that once you can understand these conversations fairly directly you have absolutely made it
I wonder when that will be ?!

It definitely did sound like eagle! I was trying to work out if it was mutation in action, or if ugl (or maybe gugl??) was a Welsh name for a breed of dog

Yep, I think this week at least she had you beat!
