yesterday i bounded up the moss-covered, concrete steps up the hill to our porch as is my habit, caught my toe on a step and sprawled full length on the stairs, threw out a hand to stop my nose from smashing on a concrete step and broke my f'ing right wrist. i get a cast and ceri gets to learn to cook. the children wait impatiently to get to paint on the cast. hopefully, this shouldn"t slow us down any.

The Welsh side in Italy didn't exactly inspire. In fact they looked pretty amateurish on times. Italy weren't sparkling either but they flattered to deceive.This was s a second string Welsh side that had better be changed for Ireland on Saturday next. The British and Irish Lions side will be announced soon so look out for a bruising encounter on the 21st.On a side note. What the hell is Gavin Henson doing. He's rapidly becoming the Johnny Wilkinson of Wales; injured or on paternity leave or unfit or drinking tea in Mrs Miggins pie shop - any excuse will do but the media play him up as though he were a god.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Il lato di Lingua gallese in Italia non ha ispirato esattamente. In effetti hanno guardato abbastanza dilettanteschi sui periodi. L'Italia non stava scintillando neanche ma hanno adulato per ingannare.Ci era s un il secondo lato di Lingua gallese della corda che dovrebbe essere cambiato dopo per l'Irlanda il sabato. Il lato britannico ed irlandese dei leoni sar annunciato presto in modo da sguardo fuori per un incontro d'ammaccatura sul ventunesimo.Su una nota laterale. Che cosa fare di Gavin Henson. Sta diventando rapido il Johnny Wilkinson del Galles; danneggiato o su lasciare di paternit o su t inadatto o bevente nel negozio della torta di sig.ra Miggins - tutta la giustificazione

Hi,I have about a half dozen of these great magnets and am willing to part with them for $10, which includes US shipping. I have one on my car and get lots of (positive) comments on it. They are approx. 8 x 10 inches. Email me if you want one (or more) and I will send you my address. I can get more once these are gone, so I will keep a list.I also have a couple that say, "Put the Cymraeg back in 'Cwm Rhondda'" and "Cymru Am Byth! Wales Forever!" Same deal.Thanks!Mona

I would like to thank all of those who emailed me with information about where I could get a Traditional Welsh Costume to wear in the upcoming St. Pat's parade, and other events that the A.W.A. participated. I ended up making my own which surprisingly wasn't too difficult nor costly. Here is the end result, plus I had enough material to make one for my niece. Thanks for all the input!

More amazing revelations from the Uncyclopedia WALES ( http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Wales )

Go to the poll at the bottom of the Left Coast Eisteddfod page to vote on a name for the dragon on David's lovespoon and this week on his blog he's exposed the wings on the Dragon and cut them out:

On a Wing And a Prayer!

This week the dragon finally gets his wings clipped! He might also have a name fairly soon too.

There are a number of ways I can approach the wings in terms of how I shape them. Many times I carve a concave 'dip' between the spine of each wing section to give them a bat-like appearance, but for this spoon I am going to cut in evenly. This will create wedge shaped section which will cast more shadow and have a vaguely art deco feel. I think that with the bold scales running along his back, the bolder and more stylized look of the wedge tapers will work nicely.
