Not my day today - sorry! I do wish things would behave in such a way that three hours on a Mon wasn’t too much to ask, but there’s so much leeway for something to crop up in that time!
Have a lovely sgwrs xxx

Useful(?) words from Monday.
tegeirian - orchid
pwll graean - gravel pit
pridd - soil
I’m sure there were others, but I have forgotten them already.

Not there today - sorry. Waiting for parcels! And panicking about Dot’s op too!
Cewch paned ar ngyfer i plîs!
I’m going to need Skype at this rate…

OK, diolch @Betterlatethan - next time, gobeithio! :slight_smile:

All will be well, I’m sure @cat-1 :slight_smile: - and the JR is one of the best in the country (don’t forget, though, to check the current roadworks situation on the approach to the JR)

… or Slack? :slight_smile:

It is. Although we’re going to the Horton!
Plusses - same surgeon as JR, much shorter waiting list, less chance of getting bumped for an emergency, and no roadworks!
Minuses - still panicking.
Dot thinks it will be an even better day than when she broke her leg (and she is incapable of sarcasm). :joy::joy::joy::fearful:

Had forgotten about that…

From what you’ve told me about Dot, seems every chance that it will be for her!:slight_smile:

Helo pawb - next week there’ll be meetups as usual on Monday & Wednesday

  • Mon 16th from 11:00am in the Bap Cafe, Abingdon Rd

… BUT we might be having a walk+sgwrs on Thursday instead of the usual pub-based meetup, so “watch this space”!:slight_smile: (confirmation one way or the other in a few days time)

I’m hoping to make it on Monday.

Yn anffodus, dw i’n mynd ar y bws sydd yn mynd yn lle y trên ddydd Iau. I am going on the rail replacement bus on Thursday. Google suggests “bws amnewid rheilffordd” which seems plausible. I might otherwise have been interested in a walk if it was in an easily-accessible place. I shall miss my normal Saturday walk as I shall be returning on a “bws amnewid rheilffordd”. It’s quite exciting having all these extra buses coming through, though I miss the trains.

I am thinking of getting a permit to walk in Bagley Wood. Has anyone been there?

Just to confirm that there’ll be a walk+sgwrs on Thursday, 19th July, in place of the usual pub meetup. Check out the Oxford Walks thread if you think you might like to join us

No, I’ve never been to Bagley Wood - must admit I didn’t even know it was possible to get a permit to visit, so it’s useful to know about that. It makes me wonder if, as well as Bagley and Wytham Woods, there are other choice bits of Oxfordshire greenery for which it’s possible to get a permit to visit?
