Hello friends! Happy new year, and of course, blwyddyn newydd dda! I feel like I say it every year, but I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone. It feels like I was just drafting my post in January 2024, and now here we are. But before we jump into what I’d like to … Continue reading Blwyddyn newydd dda!
I'm a little early this year, but as I've got plans for upcoming blog posts that are a little time-sensitive, I decided I might as well dive into this now. At the beginning of the year, I set myself some very loose 'goals', based on the ones I've had for the past few years. Nothing … Continue reading Tracking progress
Hello all! I’m afraid that due to some difficult personal circumstances over the past week or so I’ve not managed to prepare a blog post for this month, so I’m going to have to take the month off. I’ll be back in April with the regularly scheduled post. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
You know, it feels like it’s been a really long time since I’ve spoken to you all like this - it’s always the way, from about July onwards it feels like the year is a race towards the finishing line, and then January seems to stretch out into eternity. But here we are! We made … Continue reading The joy of reading: Welsh edition
Well! I’ve written and rewritten this opening paragraph about six times now, the vibe was off every single time - usually in these posts, I check my progress against the goals I set myself this time last year. I say ‘goals’, but they’re more sort of general guidelines; I don’t like to be too strict … Continue reading An uncharacteristically positive start
I can’t quite believe it’s already July. We’re officially half-way through 2023, and I thought I’d take this opportunity to look back at what I’ve done over the past six months, and reflect on progress against the very loose goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year - they’re mostly the same … Continue reading A mid-year check-in!
Hello everyone! Just a quick note to say, as it's my birthday month and I posted twice last month, I'm giving myself the month off. So there'll be no regular blog post this month. But fret not, dear friends, Romans and countrymen! As hard as it is (mostly for me) to believe, I'm actually about … Continue reading Gone fishin’
Well, another year, another Eurovision Song Contest. As usual, I spent the evening with some friends, playing a drinking game of our own devising along with some homemade bingo cards (see below), so I've got to be honest, the night is a little bit of a blur. But as usual, I've picked ten favourites from … Continue reading Eurovision Song Contest 2023: United By Music
Well hello there, dear friends; happy Saint David's day, or I should say, dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus! I hope you're all doing well. I've had a lot on this month, which has unfortunately left little time for studying or indeed anything like that, but as it's been a short month, so it seems appropriate to follow it … Continue reading A quick check-in
P'nawn da, ffrindiau! Sut dach chi? Dw i'n dda iawn, diolch yn fawr! To be honest with you, I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to write about this month. I know I've got a bit of a reputation as a serial dabbler, and I can't deny that I've definitely earned it in the … Continue reading Adventures in Welsh
