No, that's not a typo. I just couldn't resist doing a Welsh version of this when I saw the original on i can has cheezburger.



Bigger version can be seen here...

For those not familiar with the story of Branwen daughter of Llyr in the Mabinogion, Bendigeidfran the giant lay down across a river to enable his men to reach Ireland in order to rescue Branwen.



Original photo was on Cute Overload.

More boring and mundane bilingual maunderings. )

Off now to snuggle in front of the gas fire and watch Torchwood, which I did manage to record this week. Also two episodes of The State Within which, because it's shown on a Thursday night also has to be videoed because G teaches an evening class on Thursdays and is usually just arriving back home and wanting food at 9:00 pm.

Not very exciting really. An attempt at a bilingual post. )


This is a bilingual post. I am enjoying the Welsh classes and felt that I ought to be making more of an effort to read and write the language. I therefore want to start doing the occasional bilingual post. But I'll put them behind a cut tag, so you can read or ignore as you prefer.

Unlike [info]sciamanna, I am progressing very slowly with the transfer from the old Windows 98 machine to Daisy, the new Packard Bell Windows XP computer.

I do now have email and Usenet and Semagic for LJ on Daisy and I've copied over a couple of folders of data, so writing and other stuff is now being done on the new machine. But I got distracted by learning how to use iTunes to manually update my iPod. I needed to know how to do this because I've put more CDs into the iTunes library than will fit on my Nano, so I needed to work out how to move stuff on and off, as I get bored with it.

While I was at it, I also found out how to download a podcast and copy it to the iPod. And having done that successfully, I went in search of Welsh lessons to download.

I now have a veritable feast of music and words to listen to. In two languages!
