Their predictions were almost as silly as thinking a 139kg prop could beat a wing and run in a try from 35 metres. Oh , wait a minute

And a prop scores a running try - Rhys Lightning !

I said to my OH that I might have a bit more time for England if their fans didn't sing that horrible dirge. That I had another thought - dim diolch. Been watching 'Rhys Lightning' on repeat for a while now !

Prynhawn da from a sunny Brittany. This is the second sunny day after 40 , yes 40 , days of rain.

A look that could turn milk at 30 feet. So much hate in that look.

I guess it depends on where the survey took place and who was asked. There is little support for the monarchy amongst the young and Wales is seeing an increase in support for Plaid Cymru.

And I'm pretty sure it would less than this in Cymru.

Tidy ! Might be the last smile I have for a couple of days. 😂

Loved it . One of the best examples of her inability to do joined-up thinking.

'How sweet to be an idiot' usually does it for me.

Brilliant ! Rutland Weekend Television passed me by as I was working overseas. I shall try to rectify this - youtube ?
Had the privilege and great pleasure in seeing Neil Innes in Grimms a few times and at a solo gig In Winchester where I had a lovely chat with him afterwards.

Demat from a now sunny Brittany. Great start to Tachwedd though I confess I had to find a tissue to deal with some moisture that was making its way down my cheek.

Bore Da from a sunny blue sky Brittany.

The Lead Untangles: The Reform leader’s Russian influence scandal Not unreported, but certainly not given much spotlight, what do the Russian bribes taken by a former Reform UK leader tell us?

‘A major figure in the Brexit movement will go to jail for accepting bribes for Russian interests’…Farage and Yusuf say they have no idea who he is. Why isn’t this story bigger? open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...

Shorts and T-shirt here in Le Morbihan. 22-23C , c'est bizarre for almost October .

It's south Wales - c'est normal. Here in Brittany it's chilly but fine and a lovely sunset. p.s we do have proper horizontal valleys rain here quite often.

A game of two halves eh !

Intense spirited defence by France. Good for Ireland that half-time has arrived so they start the 2nd half not affected too much by their failure to score during that last passage of play. Ireland playing with more invention and speed I fancy.

Same here.Enjoyed yesterday's game.Canada were looking quite classy and outplayed Australia in just about every area.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

And in Brittany 'Le Symbole' was used. It was given to a child caught speaking Breton.The only way to get rid of it was to 'snitch' on a fellow pupil speaking Breton.At the end of the day the pupil in possession of Le Symbole would be punished.

I follow 2 or 3 Rhondda social media sites , 'cos that's where I'm from, and I'm saddened , angered and disappointed in about equal measure by the degree of support for Reform. The comments supporting Reform are devoid of reasoned debate and seem based on emotion and catch phrases.

Demat - Bore Da !

Bret's now make an unfeasibly large number of flavours. I find these garlic mayonnaise ones quite funky.

I'd forgotten about them but now I can see and taste them. I'm thinking that there must have been a nationwide menu for school meals dreamt up by some government department.

Inexpensive , nourishing and tasty - ticks all the comfort food boxes.

I live in Brittany.The French don't do packed school lunches. Here's a pic of a typical French school lunch. I was brought up on Rhondda school dinners - not haute cuisine but pretty much balanced meals and they left me with a fondness for rice pud with a thick skin.

And of course ,further up the valley we had , in Porth , our very own Houses of Parliament. Younger viewers ask your parents/grandparents.

I was watching Sky news and went into full shouting at the telly mode when he came on - 4 MP's (at the time of writing).He and his party have zero credibility.

Currently reading Gaia Vince's 'Nomad Century'. Lots of food for thought in it.
