Dw i wedi bod yn brysur yn yr ardd. Dw i wedi ail-blannu fy hen sinc, efo alpines. A dwi'n hapus iawn efo fy ngwely cysgodol nawr. Nes i achub dau o'r rhedyn o graciau rhwng cerrig paving yn yr ardd fy Mam.

I've been busy in the garden. I've replanted my old sink, with alpines. And I'm very happy with my shaded bed now. I rescued two of the ferns from cracks between paving stones in my mother's garden.

A garden border in the shade, lushy planted with hostas and ferns.

Mae'r #CaffiTrwsio yn dawel, felly, dw i wedi trwsio jîns Alfred.

#RepairCafe is quiet, so I have repaired Alfred's jeans.

Updates on the web site and domain migration thing from yesterday.

I am going through a process with Nominet, which is the UK body that deals with domain registration, to update my contact details for the domain name. I registered it with what is now a defunct email address.

We are currently bouncing emails about because Carol hasn’t spoken with Joel who already asked me the same question. They’re not being clear about what they want from me.

I’m normally the dense one. 🤔

It's all too easy to become shirty these days, in the face of provocation by inept organisations. I hope you get sorted soon!

#BoreDa pawb. Mae hi'n gwlypach na siwt Rishi Sunak tu allan. A tipyn bach tu mewn, achos twll yn ein to. Dyn ni'n mynd i'r gweithdy cymunedol. Dw i'n mynd i dechrau gwneud carn bwyell.

#GoodMorning everyone. It's wetter than Rishi Sunak's suit outside. And a little bit inside, because of a hole in our roof. We are going to the community workshop. I'm going to start making an axe handle.

Aw. I had a photo of me with him when he appeared at a sponsored swim my school took part in.

(I didn't learn to swim very easily, and sort of neglected to mention to my Mum when I mastered it, so she sponsored me quite a lot per length, and I did rather more than she was expecting....)

Anyone know what this set is? Looks like dominoes, but some number combinations are duplicated, and some missing. Plus dice, and some little sticks Alfred's Mum referred to as 'money', but she doesn't know any more than that. It may be incomplete, and possibly Chinese.

Felly, y hufen iâ. Oedden ni yn y pabell te, pan rhuthrodd dyn i mewn efo 4 tubiau hufen iâ, yn deud "Gofynasant mi gweithio'r peirant hufen iâ, ond oedd yn stopio gweithio, a troias fy nghefn ac oedd yn dechrau gweithio eto, a na fydd yn stopio! Nes i dim ond dechrau'r dydd yn sleisio barmcakes!"

Felly, wrth gwrs, wnaethon nhw angen gwirfoddolwyr i fwyta'r hufen iâ am ddim. O'n i wedi cael hufen iâ yn barod, ond...

So, the ice cream. We were in the tea tent, when a man rushed in with 4 tubs of ice cream, saying "They asked me to work the ice cream machine, but it stopped working, and I turned my back and it started working again, and it won't stops! I just started the day slicing barmcakes!"

So, of course, they needed volunteers to eat the ice cream for free. I'd already had ice cream, but...

Pwy yn hedfan mewn hofrennydd coch, sy ddim yn dangos ar FlightRadar? Glaniodd ar helipad newydd yr ysbyty yn gynnar. (Ond doedd ddim yr Ambiwlans Awyr, mae hwnna yn felyn a glas)

Who flies in a red helicopter, which does not show on FlightRadar? It landed on the hospital's new helipad early. (But it wasn't the Air Ambulance, that's yellow and blue)

A1 hi folks, I'm Lexi (she/her) and I continue to make very slow progress on the scarf I'm knitting - largely because I've been so tired and in knee pain so it's not been a priority still. Urgh!

My veggies are coming on though, so that's something. Two of my apple seedlings are doing great too.

Does anyone know of a UK supermarket that sells little individual ice cream tubs? The sort you used to be able to get in packs of 10. Mum in Law used to like having them, but we can't find them anywhere now. I know it's excess packaging, but it was so convenient for her. A big tub is hard to scoop out of, and ends up getting harder and harder.

suearcher,
@suearcher@toot.wales avatar

@eclectech

Yes, pricey, and also I think the flavours are more elaborate than she wants.

I really fancy some now though.

suearcher,
@suearcher@toot.wales avatar

@eclectech

Yes, we can decant for her if necessary, it's just a shame if she can't get the thing she used to have regularly. And so odd that they have just disappeared from the shops like this!

Scooping her own is harder for her, as one hand doesn't work very well.

This popped up on my Youtube yesterday, and I found it interesting, not because I didn't know the stuff, but because it implies that there are people who don't realise you can sew with such a basic kit. I see it at #RepairCafe, when people assume I'll be using a sewing machine, and are amazed that I do all my repairs by hand.

Like, we've been sewing for thousands of years, and had machines for just under a couple of hundred.

The adventure this afternoon went a little awry.

Essentially, it was to deliver Best Beloved to the local ophthalmology hospital for a regular checkup. Easy. We’ve managed to get to the car twice in the past week.

An unscheduled sit-down occurred right outside the front door. Recovering from that, we couldn’t find ANYWHERE to park at the hospital.

We came home. The hospital will be rescheduling. I’m letting the passenger transport folk deal with Best Beloved next time.

Ack.

Oh dear! I hope Best Beloved is ok? And of course, that you are too.

They live on their boat, so they are well used to the life.

I did have a weeks holiday on a boat once too. It did rain rather a lot, but I quite enjoyed sitting in my raincoat driving us along, while inside, friends made tea and hot shortcakes to hand out to me.
