#BoreDa bawb. Off i edrych ar ddau dŷ heddiw. Un berffaith ar bapur, (ond drud), un rhatach, ond tipyn bach o "wild card". #GoodMorning everyone. Off to look at two houses today. One perfect on paper, (but expensive), one cheaper but a bit of a "wild card".

Ffeindiais i'r prosiect clytwaith anorffenedig 'ma yn dŷ fy Mam. Dwi ddim yn gwybod beth roedd hi'n mynd i wneud, felly dwi'n mynd i'w orffen o a gwneud rhywbeth fel clustog neu gwilt glin. I found this unfinished patchwork project at my Mum's house. I don't know what she was going to do, so I'm going to finish it and make something like a pillow or lap quilt. #Clytwaith#Patchwork

@eclectech@things.uk As a Welsh learner, I grapple with mutations (where the spelling of a word varies depending on grammatical factors). Of all the letters in the Welsh alphabet, the only ones not involved in mutation at any point are FF and S, which always amuses me, as FFS is what I often think while trying to learn mutations.

#BoreDa bawb. Awn ni i #CaffiTrwsio heddiw yn Levenshulme. Wedyn, ymlacio, dwi'n meddwl. #GoodMorning everyone. We're off to the #RepairCafe in Levenshulme today. Then, relaxation, I think. #DysguCymraeg #Dyddiadur

@Florapis@toot.wales @Janet_52square@sunny.garden It might as well just be a penny more and a round number.

@Florapis@toot.wales @Janet_52square@sunny.garden When I was replying, I had to look up current fuel prices to work out what I should be typing. It doesn't come naturally to refer to anything over a pound as a number of pence.

@Janet_52square@sunny.garden @Florapis@toot.wales Ah, I think it's pence, not pounds We were seeing it at 199.9p a litre when we were in rural Wales last week.

@Florapis@toot.wales @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Excellent. Business plan: Buy one bale of silage. Portion into 500g bags. Give it a fancy name. Sell to influencers as a meal replacement.

@howisyourdog@cupoftea.social @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social All sorted now, he was sorry to hear, and we'll settle up next time we're there. Meanwhile I've called up about an Aviva insurance policy we'd been unaware of, and cancelled a plumbing cover policy we'd also missed.

@Florapis@toot.wales I think it must be, they are clearly on the verge of starvation...

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q3: On that theme, one of my reasons for making is I 'Make to Learn’. How do you go about learning new things/skills? #MakersHour I often watch videos, sometimes look in books, and then get better with practice.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q5: I tend not to make many kits because I have a habit of ‘short cutting’ instructions. Do you always follow instructions, or are you a basher/hacker-about-er? If you’re teaching someone, would you expect them to always follow the instructions? #MakersHour I try to follow instructions, but it depends how obvious I think the process is. I think it's better to follow instructions if you're learning, then you can choose to ignore them once you have a certain level of skill.

@Florapis@toot.wales Me too - although I was lying in awake, watching gardening videos on youtube. Getting inspiration for the garden we don't have yet.....

@Florapis@toot.wales @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social @Janet_52square@sunny.garden Fortunately, Australia is not on our list of places to visit!

I was clearing out one of Mum's kitchen cupboards today and found the most My Mum thing ever. A thread, read to the end to full Mum-ness. So, this box at the back of the cupboard was holding bulgar wheat and Green Lentils.... 1/n

@howisyourdog@cupoftea.social Lucky Hops! (I can't complain, I had some lovely coffee cake at lunchtime)

@Florapis@toot.wales @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Mmm. If we end up with a field we're not using yet, perhaps I'll invent silage cuisine....😉

The fruit bowl - I've never not known this fruit bowl. I don't really like fruit and Alfred tends to keep fruit in the fridge, so I don't know what I'll keep in it.

#BoreDda bawb. Dyn ni'n mynd i Sioe Peiriant Stêm heddiw. Rhaid i mi baratoi cinio picnic - mae'r bwyd sioe yn ddrud iawn (a, mae'n anodd i gael bwyd di-gluten). #GoodMorning everyone. We're going to the Steam Engine Show today. I have to prepare a picnic lunch - the show food is very expensive (and, it's hard to get gluten-free food). #DysguCymraeg #Dyddiadur

Our car satnav provides this useful image of a tunnel, when we're in a tunnel, in case, I suppose, we haven't noticed that we're in a tunnel....

Hyd yn hyn y bore 'ma, dwi wedi cael 'robocall' yn trio werthu dyfodolau whisgi i fi, a neges ar Mastodon o dyn efo llun Elon Musk yn ei broffil. Be' nesaf? So far this morning, I've had a 'robocall' trying to sell me whisky futures, and a message on Mastodon from a guy with a picture of Elon Musk in his profile. What next?

Ar ôl herio hen ddyn hilliol yn yr archfarchnad, dyn ni wedi gwneud rhywbeth positif, a pigo sbwriel yn y stryd. After challenging a racist old man in the supermarket, we have done something positive, and picked up litter in the street.

Mum cut down on eating bread, for her waistline, when I was little. This was the tin she kept her Ryvita in. It may have been a promotional item, as the Ryvita packet fitted perfectly.

@spytfyre@mastodon.scot @wood5y@mastodonapp.uk Reading the article, it's not the giving away food that the Reform bloke is upset about, its the fact that he and his lot got called out for it, and are claiming it's put them at risk of harm. Fecking cowards, happy to make a decision, not happy to take the flack.

@Florapis@toot.wales @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social To be fair, I've seen food that didn't look edible! Actually, is silage slightly fermented? That's really trendy just now....

@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social @snaptophobic@mastodon.me.uk I think it's mainly so my sister and I can prove our identities and so on. And ask all the 'dumb' questions we have no idea about.

Roedd hi'n bwrw glaw yn drwm dros nos. #CastanwyddenEccles It rained heavily overnight. #EcclesChestnut

#BoreDa bawb. Dydd Iau, felly, dydd gweithdy cymunedol, a sgwrs Cymraeg. Hefyd, ddydd etholiad ym Manceinion, ond, dyn ni wedi pleidleisio yn barod, gan post. #GoodMorning everyone. Thursday, therefore, community workshop day, and Welsh conversation. Also, election day in Manchester, but we've already voted, by post. #DysguCymraeg #Dyddiadur

#BoreDa bawb. Dyn ni yng Nghaerlŷr i gasglu teledu fy Mam . Wnawn ni mynd â phethau eraill i'r siop elusen, a'r tip, wedyn, mynd yn ôl adre. #GoodMorning everyone. We are in Leicester to collect my Mum's television. We will take other things to the charity shop, and the tip, then go back home. #DysguCymraeg #Dyddiadur

O diar. Mae Alfred wedi darganfod pinafal wedi sychu yn Aldi. Blas pinafal, ond gweadedd merang. Bydd hwn yn ddrud iawn. Oh dear. Alfred has discovered dried pineapple at Aldi. Pineapple flavour, but meringue texture. This will be very expensive.

#BoreDa bawb. Off i'r gwaith yn fuan, wedyn, rhaid i ni llenwi'r car i fynd i'r sêl cist car yfory. Wedyn mwy o waith, ac ymlacio. #GoodMorning everyone. Off to work soon, then, we have to fill the car to go to the car boot sale tomorrow. Then more work, and relaxation. #DysguCymraeg #Dyddiadur

@snaptophobic@mastodon.me.uk I was saying to Alfred that we'll have to find out when all the local rallies are on in Wales once we've moved there. He said, well, if we bought somewhere with a bit enough field.....

@NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot Morning. It's a bit dark here, partly because it's grey and rainy, partly, because one of the kitchen bulbs has blown.

#BoreDa bawb. Gwaith i fi heddiw, wedyn mwy o sortio pethau yn y tŷ. Efallai pobi? #GoodMorning everyone. Work for me today, then more sorting things in the house. Maybe baking? #DysguCymraeg #Dyddiadur

@thebaywindowgirl@toot.wales NO CAKE? Appalling. There better be double cake next time.

@IcooIey@mastodon.green We felt the need to do something constructive. We're both feeling like we just want to run away from here at the moment.

@snaptophobic@mastodon.me.uk Ah. There was me thinking I'd just chill and look at stuff.... I'm sure there will be some pictures though....

@spytfyre@mastodon.scot Yes, I hadn't thought of giving it away, but that's a good idea, maybe I will.

@Florapis@toot.wales @kim@fedi.social Yes, there is that. Although I'd rather NOT have another human around, and perhaps a lot of us feel that way.... If I was to have a robot helper I'd rather it was animal like. I'd obviously give it a name too....

@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Absolutely NOT!

@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Look, I offered to be a guinea pig for you to lift, and you just said you'd get the engine crane out.... 😂

@Shelly@beige.party @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Partly neither of us like pot pourri, and partly, Mum did have dusty bowls of it all over the house....

@IcooIey@mastodon.green We're doing all we can to clear and move our stuff. Just need someone to want to buy our house!

@Shelly@beige.party We thought it would be chewy, but it's properly dry and meringue is the nearest we could come up with.

#BoreDa bawb. Mae hi wedi bwrw glaw! O diwedd! Dyn ni'n mynd i Fachynlleth efo llwyth arall o bethau ar gyfer yr storfa. #GoodMorning everyone. It has rained! At last! We are going to Machynlleth with another load of things for the store. #DysguCymraeg #Dyddiadur

@kim@fedi.social @Shelly@beige.party @NatalyaD@disabled.social A crying baby is ok, they can't help it. And we're lucky that we don't get a lot of dog noise round here, even though people exercise dogs on the green. Most of the houses being flats, there aren't many (any?) dogs actually living here. And I don't mind a bit of child noise, during the day.. But at midnight? What are they doing even out of bed at that time?
