Thought for the day’s subject is the traitors tv programme. Honestly! Even more of a reason to turn the wireless off. Avoided it last night by watching a History Channel programme with Wayne Mills-Kidals’ cousin Guy Martin parachuting into Normandy. THG watched the traitors on her device listening through her Bose phones.
Switched to Sioe Frecwast on Radio Cymru and they even started talking about the Traitors there. Is there no escape? Turned the volume down and a few minutes later they’ve moved on to discussing the chances of Wales in the Six Nations Rugby.
A piece on Diwyrnod Santes Dwynwen was played in with Dim Ond Mor O Gariad by Meic Stevens. It’s the Welsh equivalent of Valentines day but I guess you already knew that. It’s on now in da kitch. THG sat there patiently filtering it out in the same way I do when the news is on Radio 4.
Moved on from Sioe Frecwast to Ar y Marc where the content is mainly football. Apaz it’s the 30th anniversary of the Eric Cantona king fu kick. Who knew? The presenter did name drop the winners of the Traitors. I suppose everyone who wanted to watch it tuned in last night otherwise I’d be a bit pissed off about the spoiler. Don’t worry the ‘secret’ is safe with me.
I’ve turned off Radio Cymru. Swiped up. Peace at last in the kitchen. The tea brews.
A clearing up session lies ahead of me after an acceptable avo on toast with a side of bacon. I stuck a chopped chilli in the guac. Came from a bag of mixed Thai chillies. This one was particularly hot which was fine. Only thing is you can’t tell which ones are going to be fiery and which are just normal until you’ve started to eat them. Whatever ‘just normal’ is when it comes to chillies.
Sat on the church pew with the low sun edging around the side of the window trying its utmost to dazzle me. If it gets to that I will get up and get dressed. After tidying up obvs. Ok as it stands.
We seem to have avoided the worst of Storm Éowyn. This has to be good considering the wireless was reporting a million people without electricity in Ireland and Scotland. Hopefully their batteries held out and they had a plentiful supply of candles. Might experiment with a candlelit dinner tonight for me n THG. Romantic.
In the ‘old’ days, the days of yore, Éowyn would not have had a name and the bothy dwellers of the Celtic nations would have already been using candles. Or lamps. Candles were probably expensive. Nowadays you can buy 102 birthday cake candles (with holders) for £3.88. Otherwise it’s £12.99 (plus £4.49 delivery!) for 20 off normal candles which will probably be more useful in a power cut. Each one will burn for 6 hours according to the blurb so should last longer and the kids won’t be tempted to blow them out. Unless they were notionally doing their homework by candlelight and wanted an excuse for not finishing it. We have a few candlesticks dotted around the house…

Yo Steve
You probably know it is an old Lincolnshire tradition that when a bloke reaches the venerable age of 60 they throw a quiz in his honour. Here is the quiz:
What was Steve’s main source of employment?
- Pole dancer
- Pole vaulter
- Pole tosser
- Pole climber
There are prizes of a kiss off Steve for both correct and incorrect answers and you can have as many goes as you like. People called Tref are exempt from taking part.
Lotsa lurve
