Former librarian and Victorianist. Half Scottish, half Lancastrian, learning Welsh. Likes books, Ghibli, yarn and stationery. She/her. I have approximate knowledge of many things. @florilegia on Bluesky and Twitter. I’m also @florilegia @mastodon.social, but I’m more likely to be here.
Sorry about the million replies over on Bluesky, @gwenynen! I think everything is glitching terribly right now.
Haunting the seashore, as promised
Here is a wonderful #owl for you
WRT that last toot, obviously I haunt the seashore as a matter of course, but I’d really like the conversations with owls option

Spotted a brutal murder in the Cardiff Lego shop today
Someone on FB stated "it's a pity Scottish Gaelic is dying" - yeah, if you let it! Learn Gàidhlig via Duolingo, the BBC's Speak Gaelic course https://speakgaelic.scot & YouTube, via courses at eSgoil (e-sgoil.com) at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (smo.uhi.ac.uk) & local classes throughout Scotland. I did Duolingo's course, in a week or so I get my SQA Gaelic Higher result, & next month start Advanced Gaelic. I regularly use the language now with pals across the country, it can be done!

We did have a lovely time catching up with @samanthahalf and her small person, *and* we got to go on a boat, which was awesome. But R did panic about missing the Cardiff-London train and had to be prevented from dashing onto the train to Holyhead (presumably because being on *any* train was preferable to not being on one) so chaos was ever-present.

Wondering whether I should subscribe to the Heimdall school of parenting, especially given that we as a family seem to be part-way there already.

Yes, I have just spent the weekend shepherding my children around London and explaining why you shouldn't try to feed the pigeons rice, or climb into the Trafalgar Square fountains, why do you ask?
