Thursday Thirteen (Dydd Iau un deg tri)

Thirteen things in Welsh. With pronouciations and translations.
My Welsh isn't brilliant but I thought it would be a fun TT.
Every letter is pronounced - unlike English were there are silent letters. The accent is on the last but one syllable. Today I'm concentrating on things to do with the weather but some other bits as well. Oh! somethimes there are differences between North and South words so I'll use north as that is where my Great Grandmother was from but it really doesn't make a huge difference.

1. Celfyddydau (Celfithudow) = Artistic/crafty/creative

2. Sut ydycg chi? (sit uhdich chee) = How are you? (north welsh)

3. rwy'n (rooeen) I am (north welsh)

4. Mae hi'n (mahee heen) It is

5. Y tywydd (uh tuhoo-idd) The weather

6. Oer (Oheer or Ohr) = cold

7. Boeth (boyth) = Hot

8. Bwrw glaw (Booroo glahoo) = raining

9. bwrw eira (booroo eheerah) = snowing

10. heulog (heheelog) = sunny

11. wyntog (oointog) = windy

12. gymylog (gyhmulhog) = cloudy

13. Nos da (nohs da!) Good night

Hope you had a fun time learning Welsh. Maybe I'll do it again. To visit more Thursday Thirteens go to the home page here.

Thursday 13 on Thursday 15th.

No theme, just whatever's in my head.

1. OUCH!!! from both my car and me. A guy in a 4 wheel drive backed into me last night. I was stationary. My car has a dent and I ache. Watch out insurance claim.

2. We had snow last week. Not a lot but enough to make life interesting for a couple of days.

3. My brother visited at the weekend.

4. edited to protect the innocent.

5. My dog has a wart on his face, Bazooka Gel is getting rid of it.

6. We rearranged the offices at work. I ended up moving the entire contents of one department on my own! I had the next 2 days off with backache and I had to see the osteopath. Thank goodness I have insurance for things like that.

7. another edit :D.

8. My horse is such a baby, he wears a blanket but the other night he was shivering anyway and had to have 2 on.

9. My dog has decided that it's time to get up when it's light! He used to decide it was time to jump on the bad and suggle.

10. I started Pilates and my stomach is already flatter.

11. I need to see the osteopath again after the car accident but can't get in until next Thursday.

12. I did 7 layouts at the crop last week! I was sooooooo tired after. (for those who don't know. It's scrapbooking - making photo albums)

13. I haven't struggled with this TT as much as I thought I would. I better keep the other things in a list for another time.

Thursday Thirteen on the 25th

Thirteen things I've seen people do dispite the snow on the ground.

1. Walking about in a tee-shirt
2. Overtaking into oncoming traffic
3. Pull out of side street into oncoming traffic
4. Constantly tooting horn while in a line of traffic at the lights
5. Walking on the road in the direction of the traffic
6. Speeding
7. Letting small children run on icy pavements near traffic
8. Driving with no lights in bad visability
9. Not dipping headlights when traffic is coming towards them
10. Only clearing a small porthole in the windscreen
11. Talking on a handheld phone while driving
12. Turning round to tell off children in back seat of car
13. Throwing snowballs at moving traffic

Yep they are almost all traffic related and some are not just stupid but also illegal! It's bad enough that people do these things in good weather but we have snow and ice. And for some crazy reason the roads weren't gritted last night.

The guy tooting the horn was driving one of those big lorries and there was absoluting no reason for it. He kept up the tooting even after the traffic moved off and was still going at it when he took the other turning to me.
