Ok, Friends, I've decided to give this whole Crossword Puzzle thing a whirl. Same as Swansea Jack's--use the English alphabet, not the Welsh one (i.e. Ll, ch, dd, etc., go in TWO different squares, even though these are each one letter in Welsh). I'll put the solution up in a couple of days. Pob Lwc!
A couple of my friends are DJs on radio tircoed, so I listen on-line when I remember the time difference! Anyway, this would be a good day to tune in, if you've a mind (just remember this is GMT and adjust accordingly!):

He is now so good at running like a hound, owner Sue Williams hopes to make him part of the Cheshire Dog Display Team.
I am originally from Tucson, Arizona, and there are a few important observatories in the area, so when I was growing up the city was very careful about light pollution, but it was never like this. This is amazing!
Stunning images of starry nights on the Gwynedd island of Bardsey have prompted a bid to secure international "dark-sky" status for the community.
