Weather forecast today’s (Friday) not good so we might revert to a virtual meetup via Zoom - update coming soon, so watch this space! 
UPDATE: Given the weather forecast today 
, we’ll meet up via Zoom today instead of face to face (get in touch if you need Zoom login details)
Helo bawb - hopefully we have a drier (and warmer!
) week ahead of us this week and we’ll be able to meet up again in the open air on Friday, so here’s the plan:
- 12:00 Tuesday 25th May / dydd Mawrth 25ain Mai via Zoom
- 12:00 Friday 28th May / dydd Gwener 28ain Mai in Montag House garden - see above for directions
Get in touch if you need login details for Zoom on Tuesday or have any questions - newcomers welcome, as always! 
Hwyl a chadw’n iach

PS Do let us know if you’d like to join us but find days/times don’t suit - additional sessions might be possible if there’s the interest
I was hoping to finally be able to join you all in the garden today but it wasn’t to be as I’ve had to wait in for some drain people. Hope you didn’t get wet.

Helo bawb - time to say ‘goodbye’ to May this week and ‘hello’ to June! 
, but the same pattern as before for our meetups :
- 12:00 Tuesday 1st June / dydd Mawrth 1af Mehefin via Zoom
- 12:00 Friday 4th June / dydd Gwener 4edd Mehefin in Montag House garden - see above for directions

PS If you’d like to join a walk+sgrws I’ve now set up a Doodle poll to help settle on dates - there’s a link to it here: https://forum.saysomethingin.com/t/oxford-walks/7540/476
Helo bawb - we’re continuing with the same pattern of meetups for now, but we’ll probably only be able to have a couple more meetups in Montag House garden after this Friday so we’ll need to start thinking about another venue soon:
- 12:00 Tuesday 8th June / dydd Mawrth 8fed Mehefin via Zoom
- 12:00 Friday 11th June / dydd Gwener 11eg Mehefin in Montag House garden (see earlier post of 5 May for directions)
And, don’t forget …
Hwyl a chadw’n saff

Helo pawb - there’s heavy rain forecast throughout today (Fri 18th) so rather than getting soaked in the garden we’ll be meeting up via Zoom this Friday lunchtime (PM me if you need login details).
The forecast for Saturday, though, is dry so we’ll be going ahead with the walk (latest details here: https://forum.saysomethingin.com/t/oxford-walks/7540/502)
Hwyl am y tro

Helo bawb - this week may be our last chance to meet up in the garden of Montag House on a Friday as a new cohort of US students is probably arriving (I’m checking with Autumn that this is still going ahead given concerns here about the Covid Delta variant) - the weather forecast for Friday’s a bit iffy at the moment but hopefully it might improve a bit come Friday
Ta waeth/Anyway, here are usual meetup details for this week
-
12:00 Tuesday 22nd June / dydd Mawrth 22ain Mehefin via Zoom (get in touch if you need login details )
- 12:00 Friday 25th June / dydd Gwener 25ain Mehefin in Montag House garden (last but one meetup here - see post #2089 above for directions or contact me )

PS Idea for for next Saturday’s (26th) walk here https://forum.saysomethingin.com/t/oxford-walks/7540/507 And there’s also now a Doodle poll to find dates for walks in July: https://doodle.com/poll/64x3ukcnqpagmm7h?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

Helo eto - Autumn has confirmed now that the students will be coming, so this Friday will be the last opportunity to meet up in Montag House garden (let me know if you have any suggestions for alternative meetup venues in July :).
Also, this Friday we’ll be using the other part of the garden as there’s scaffolding ibeing put up against the part of the building facing the section of the garden we’ve been using until now (keep a watchful eye 
for people wielding scaffolding poles 
as you arrive!)

Today marks 450 years since the founding of Jesus College, the Welsh College in Oxford! There was a service in the University Church which included a reading of a poem commissioned in both Welsh and English. I don’t think I posted this back in March, so here it is in case you’re interested; the texts are slightly different in the two languages …

Forecast for Friday is dry at the moment so I’d love to try sitting in Broad Meadow (the west end of Broad Street).
Sorry not to join you today - I moved into my new flat yesterday and only got the internet connection set up half an hour ago!

I’m sorry I ve decided I don’t feel comfortable to go to central Oxford tomorrow after all. So I am going to give Broad meadow a miss for the moment . Hope you enjoy yourselves . Hwyl Bethan

What are other people’s thoughts on a Broad Meadow meetup rather than over Zoom tomorrow? Presumably it’s going to be there for a while, so there’s no need to rush.
I could do either so I’ll see what others want to do and check back tomorrow before 10:00. I was in central Oxford (Westgate - St Aldates) today and it was all right. I didn’t get as far as Broad Meadow. We got the bus to Wolvercote and walked back along the river. We were shattered.

I can do either - would be happy to meet out of doors, but if Zoom avoids excluding folk that’s fine, too.
