Oxford Welsh learners group

Yes, still planning on coming - but with small children in tow, so may have to sit near the exit in case too much Welsh exceeds their boredom threshold :slight_smile:

After this eveningā€™s enjoyable Jesus College carol service, a quick reminder about the lunchtime meetup tomorrow, Friday, in the MOA cafe.
Hwyl, John

PS A reminder also about Saturdayā€™s walk - so far no-oneā€™s said theyā€™re planning to come on this one, so do say if you are otherwise itā€™ll have to be postponed

Iā€™m not coming today :no_mouth: because small poorly children are my life right now! :mask:
@RichardBuck - were we the lone rangers today? Maeā€™n ddrwg gyda fi!

Clive was saying heā€™d be going, so no need for a Welsh monologue in MOA :slight_smile:

Oh sorry to be slow everyone - I was planning to come but am ill AGAIN ā€¦ the sooner this term ends, the better! Next Friday, then ā€¦

Some years ago, many people whom I knew had LiveJournal accounts ā€“ but one didnā€™t, and tended to be referred to on Live Journal as ā€œDan WINOLJā€ (Dan Who Is Not On LiveJournal). Iā€™m afraid that, not knowing Cliveā€™s surname, he is now pigeonholed in my head as Clive SDAFF (Clive Sydd Dim Ar y Fforwm).

But anyway: you may have to convey my apologies to Clive. Knowing that he was supposed to be coming, but that it might just be the two of us, I had planned to be more punctual than I often am. Unfortunately, I needed to go out by car this morning, but the car had a flat battery: by the time Iā€™d put it on charge and done my errands by camper-van, I arrived at MOA at about my usual 12:30 time to find no Clive there. In case he was as late or later than I was, I dutifully sat & read Manon Steffan Ros for nearly an hour, and enjoyed it very much ā€“ but, sadly, I didnā€™t see Clive.

Thanks @RichardBuck - I havenā€™t heard yet whether Clive (the surnameā€™s Jenkins) made it or not to the cafe but Iā€™m glad you enjoyed your hour there anyway .

Sorry, getting my Llywelynā€™s mixed up with my Llewelynā€™s - should be the latter for LRH

Llun gwych!

Last week, I fear, Clive found himself on his own at the Tuesday meetup and on Friday Richard had only Manon Steffan Ros for company but, sadly, not in person :disappointed:

But hereā€™s another week and with luck thereā€™ll be sgwrs & hwyl again in the caffis :slight_smile:: *

  • Tuesday 5th Dec 10am in the Ashmolean cafe and
  • Friday 8th Dec 12:00 in the MOA/MOMA/MIAOW cafe, Pembroke St.

I have to be in London on Tuesday but hopefully thereā€™ll be at least a couple of people who can make it that day. and Iā€™ll be there on Friday. Do post a message if you can make it to one or both meetups - meanwhile Iā€™ll be contacting people who arenā€™t on the forum (PSDAFFā€™s?)
Hwyl, John

Hoping to make it on Friday too! :grinning:

I wonā€™t be able to make Tuesday, but I might be able to make Friday. :slight_smile:

Just to confirm that the meetup tomorrow, Tuesday, is being cancelled, as none of the PSDAFFs can make it either. I think we can definitely confirm Fridayā€™s meetup now though. Hwyl, John
