Adeiladau'r Gwerin

Wi'n dysgu Cymraeg, wel oherwydd wi'n byw yng Nghymru wrth gwrs! Dim poeni am y gamgymeriadau. Ond yn ystod yr wythnos diwetha, gwers Cymraeg yn Coleg y Cymoedd, roedden ni yn siariad am yr Amgueddfa Gwerin Cymru a symud yr hen adeiladau i'r lle ger Caerdydd. Un o'r fath symudiad oedd hen sied clogiwr o Sir Penfro. Hyfryd iawn! Wi'n gobeithio ymweld yr amgueddfa ac edrych รข'r arddangosfa!

Money, money, it's just so funny....Not

Just in case you thought everything was great then you have not heard the latest wonderful news from the US? Their debt ceiling might have to be £30+ trillion dollars? Eh? That is thirty million million million dollars. Excuse me, who is running that show? $30,000,000,000,000,000,000 debt. Well, that puts my own debt with the bank in some perspective. Just wondering what the US banks charge for all of that? It’s just mind boggling. What is more worrying is this – when such a ceiling will collapse, as it will, then what? We are always talking about how wonderful it is to live in a free world but is it really free when we are shackled by such debt? It is not just the US, Europe is just the same, in fact all countries seem to be burdened with debt. So, a good question to ask is who pays for all of that? Well, in a way it is you and me. We might save some money in some sort of a savings account (if we are lucky!) and the savings banks and others will invest that in government bonds hooveri...

Do we really understand our adversaries?

Having read one of the Telegraph’s articles, the ones that are sent called Top Stories on mobiles, named ‘Putin will soon turn his war machine on Britain’ , I wasn’t sure whether to start packing my belongings or laugh uproariously. It was attributed to Ben Wallace , a former Secretary for Defence, so it must be taken seriously. Looking at the article at first one can easily dismiss it as a bit of fanciful drivel, much like loads of other ‘ Telling you what is going to happen’ stuff. Obviously most does not, will not happen or are just fancy personal emanations of deep-seated fear of the unknown. Whatever, I wouldn’t think someone like Sir Ben would succumb to such fear. So, I read the article again and picked up the psychological slant on meetings with people who have had little discourse or meetings with opponents in foreign climes. People like Gerasimov, Shoigu for instance. What I picked up was the insular thinking by the Russian leadership. But these are the people who decide or ...

A nice trip, safety? Good question....

Bit of a surprise for the lady of the house and me. Our daughter treated us to a ticket for a trip on the ‘Waverley’. The Waverley is a paddle-steamer built in 1947 and reputedly the only one left in the world. Well, at least in the UK! The ship would leave the pier at Penarth (the small town next to Cardiff) for the trip to Ilfracombe, the small town in North Devon, England. It is about 70 odd miles I think and the trip lasts for about just 2 hours plus. The weather at the moment here is governed by a high pressure system, meaning calmer seas. Yet due to a stiff breeze there were visible the well-known ‘white horses’. For foreigners that means asking the age-old question – ‘White horses’? Are there horses on the water? No, friends it just means white capped waves. It made the ship sway ever so little but noticeable looking at the stumbling people around the decks. One very serious question needs asking though, a ship like the ‘Waverley’ which is not enormous like today’s ocean-liners...
