You could always do a monologue 
Yes, why not? I see this brilliant idea. You surely have a lot to tell @aran ā¦ 
And ā¦
Sorry pawb. I probably must be a witch or some gremlin possessed me to say this and it came true (once again ohhhh ā¦ )

Anyone who has ever heard me hit my stride will find this hard to believe, but a 5 minute monologue sounds more than a little daunting - and would in any case have a distinct lack of the natural conversational structures that you get with two.
[Plus guess who has a little bit of extra stuff to do when Catrin isnāt wellā¦;-)]

Ye ā¦ and she can be quite irritated with herself not being well ā¦
Pob lwc to (all) both.

I first used SSi, hmmmā¦ Seems like 5-6 years ago? I hope Iāve got my length right!
Back then, it was only SSiW, that is, Say Something In Welsh. And I have to sayā¦ I love what the SSi team and moderators are doing, and that is why I am proud to say I have joined the SSi Growth Club!
I wish the best to our great team behind the dream, and to our moderators who keep the community running alongside them.
I have to warn you all - I used to be a language-learning ADDICT! Iāve high hopes for SSi, so hereās hoping that all language learners, both avid addicts and the non, continue to have a wonderful, prosperous, and embracing place to call their language learning platform and home.
Vielen Dank, dank je, diolch, gracias, takk, go raibh maith agait, and thanks to you all!

Thank you so much for your support, Noah - itās no over-statement to say that the Growth Club has kept us afloat this last year or so, and has got us within spitting distance of a fully functional SSiBorgā¦
Iām really looking forward to when we can all start playing some āseveral different languagesā challenges with the new material weāll be able to buildā¦

I hope Iām not too pushy, but a little Q: Is there any new material in the Growth Club content in the pipeline in a not so distant future?
(Just asking)

Yes - weāve been very slack, and we really should have found the time to do some today - but the truth is, Iām exhausted after this weekās 5 day intensive, and we took the kids to the Caernarfon Food Festival instead.
But weāll do a bunch of catch-up sessions next week and the week afterā¦

O, ye, Iāve just seen this. Didnāt see any Welsh Cakes though. I still didnāt try them even after being in Wales. 
And, diolch. Iām waiting (im)patiently to hear some more content ā¦ on food festival maybe? ā¦ and birds in the garden.

Is it possible to send food via air mail?
It is possible to send chocholate or something like that, originally packed with all certifications and declarations. Other than that I think itās not possible.
Ahemā¦
Yes, itās time for apologies, and reparations. Now that the recording space is mostly under control again, Catrin and I have some big plans for the next couple of weeksā¦
Starting with 2 new Growth Club sessions up for you today (the second of which may be a slightly acquired taste)ā¦ and our plan is to go at the rate of 2 a day for a couple of weeks, until we start to feel less guilty - so you might want to keep an eye on this thread, and get your downloading running smoothly, so you donāt end up missing anyā¦

Hi Aran,
I donāt think you should ever feel guilty about Growth Club recordings. You do so much hard work and it is very much appreciated!

That is extremely kind of you, Emma! I hope after the next couple of weeks the guilt will have subsided slightly (I donāt usually tend to feel guilty for quite as long as I probably ought toā¦;-)).
