The SSi Growth Club

Yup! And hope you enjoy the Mabinogion! Now, parts of that are fun and interesting to read (I found, anyway!)

Yes I do. Iā€™m a bit dumb with understanding everything bug Iā€™ll eventually learn something from this also. Might be Iā€™ll just slowly translate everything into Slovene and it will be the first copy in Slovene ever, who knows. :slight_smile: Iā€™ve searched for the Slovene translation but I didnā€™t find it anywhere so it obviously doesnā€™t exist YET. :slight_smile:

Iā€™m afraid I inadvertently let my credit card expire through being disorganised. I had an email this morning saying that by Growth Club membership had been cancelled through non-payment, with a link to https://saysomethingin.recurly.com/account/login to update my card details. Then that page asked me to log in, but didnā€™t recognise my usual details, which Iā€™m fairly sure of.

When I then logged on to the forum and the rest of the site, I still seem to have access to everything and the subscription page of my profile still says that my subscriptions are active.

Sorry to be a pain! Not testing deliberately!

Yay! #31 published today - some rambling about books - with a request please not to mind that Catrin sounds as though sheā€™s on some very heavy duty drugs - sheā€™s just a bit on the tired side!

And #32 recorded today - Iā€™ll get the transcript done for that by Mondayā€¦ :slight_smile:

Since @CatrinLliarJones and I are doing some photograph challenge on Facebook of posting one photo of nature each day and her photos are awesome!!! here could be one chat about photographing, photos etc, etc ā€¦ I bet 5 minutes wouldnā€™t be enough when she is challenged properly to talk about that. :slight_smile:

Just the idea and thought which (as always) can be easily dropped off if it doesnā€™t suit.

And, ja, Iā€™m running to download both 31 and 30. Shame on me I didnā€™t download 30 yet! Being at home this week obviously I became even more lazy(ish) then I usually am. - hehe

Brilliant, thank you! Yes, getting her to stop talking about photography will be the challengeā€¦:wink:

@aran What about something on sugar (unless you covered it in the first 6 Growth Club chats, which I missed).

I seem to remember seeing a thread about you not eating sugar, specifically fructose(?), for 105 days or more. Perhaps you could chat about that, not the scientific detail, but what you ate and didnā€™t eat, how it affected other members of the family, ice cream, what happened about the cakes at bootcamp, whether it made any difference to how healthy you felt, whether you still do it or would do it again, did you beat your record?

For the remembrance ā€¦ There was 105 days or more, yes ā€¦ and the topic is here

It was not hard to find this thread anyway since typing sugar and Aran gives you only 2 findings. :slight_smile:

Diolch yn fawr iawn am y sgwrs llyfrau! Maeā€™n braf cael rhywbeth ysgafn ac yn ddoniol ar y rhestr - os ydw iā€™n gallu ffitio nhw mewn rhwng y pethau llai ysgafn (fel arfer) bydda iā€™n trio darllen ar gyfer fy nghlwb llyfrau dros y hafā€¦

Many thanks for the book ideas! It would be nice to read something light and amusing in Welsh for a change, if I can fit them in around the (generally less light and amusing) stuff Iā€™ll be trying to read for my Welsh book club over the summer!

Diolch o galon! Thatā€™s next week sorted out :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

@netmouse - croeso mawr! Falch iawn i ti fwynhau - gobeithio bydd rhai ohonyn nhw yn plesio :slight_smile:

And yes! Iā€™ve stuck to it! GC32 is up and waiting for youā€¦

And I think if we double up again this coming Friday, weā€™ll have caught up - does that sound plausible to the rest of you? :slight_smile:

I know, I know, itā€™s unusualā€¦

But for 3 weeks in a row, thatā€™s a Growth Club session posted correctly on the Friday! #33 waiting for you - hope youā€™re interested in a slightly obsessive man waffling about foodā€¦:wink:

Whoo-hoo! Growth Club #34 up and waiting for you - and I think thatā€™s us back up to full speed, isnā€™t it? So this coming Friday, weā€™ll be back to our usual Friday publishing scheduleā€¦ :slight_smile:

Incidentally, it would be very interesting hearing what you think of these recordings - good, bad, indifferent, whatever - it will all help us fine tune and make them as useful for you as possibleā€¦ :slight_smile:

Theyā€™re very useful, even for a beginner like me. The topics are varied and interesting: gardening, car problems, Star Wars, Beatrix Potter, etc. I can only get the gist of the recordings, but I listen to them over and over and over. . .your voices are very easy on the ears. I look forward to each new recording. Keep them coming! Diolch yn fawr!

I actually listened the last two instead of keeping them on as background noise and I liked them (even if I got really hungry for some reason).

How about something about your adventures around the globe when you were younger?

For this one Iā€™d click :heart: twice of it would be possible. I wondered about them many times.
