It's been a very interesting month. Apart from the various gigs, I won
The chair at the Welsh Learners' Eisteddfod for North East Wales, which
Involved wearing a large purple and cream cloak, Mrs Thomas unsheathing
And sheathing a large sword three times, and Mrs Conlon playing her harp
And sounding my name to the four winds, which isn't something she does
Every day. I'm involved in organising the timetable for Maes D (the
Learners' Pavilion) in the National Eisteddfod; not something I ever
Expected to be involved in. It's an interesting life.
 
The Television programme I talked about last month will go out on S4C on
5th April, and be repeated a couple of days later. It's an excellent
Programme, but I've no idea how much sense they managed to get out of me.
