Despite its incessant cheerfulness (I am not a morning person), I am loving this collection from Lemn Sissay. Maybe I could be a morning person. Maybe I could be a better person. (the second statement is more likely to be true) Love.
Right. Well, this guy seems to be pretty popular. Better start somewhere - so why not at the beginning?
I'm sure it's a total coincidence, and not at all a glaring display of naked profiteering...
Hello, what's this? A leaflet from a local politician - and it's not even coming up to an election! Amazing! Diolch yn fawr, @llyrgruffydd.bsky.social! I shall read your update with great interest!
It's Hedd Wyn's birthday. I mean, how's this for a line of poetry? Ynghrog ar gangau’r helyg draw, A gwaedd y bechgyn lond y gwynt, A’u gwaed yn gymysg efo’r glaw. We hung our harps in the willows again. Ballads of boys blow on the wind, Their blood is mingled with the rain.
Look at how nice our house looks. Now imagine it in real life. We have no central heating and no double glazing. It's freezing. Fucking freezing. Cozy winter my arse.
I'm not the sort of person who laughs at other people's self-made misfortune. Oh wait, yes I am. Ha!
