Rywsut-rywfodd

Yn ddiweddar, dw i wedi bod yn meddwl am le i fynd ar fy ngwyliau eleni. Dw i wedi penderfynnu gwneud cwrs Cymraeg yn Nant Gwrtheyrn ym Mis Mai. Yna ym Mis Gorffenaf, a i ar yr Ysgol Haf Iaith a Diwylliant yn Oideas Gael yn Glencolmcille yn Iwerddon. Ar ôl hynny, bydda i’n mynd i Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (Ysgubor Mawr Ostaig), y coleg Gaeleg ar Ynys Skye, i wneud cwrs caneuon Gaeleg. Mae dwy wythnos o wyliau eraill ‘da fi, ond dw i ddim wedi penderfynnu lle i fynd eto.

Laethanta saoire

Le déanaí tá mé ag smaoineamh cá bhfuil mé ag dul ar mó laethanta saoire i mbliana. Chinn mé ar Breatnais a fhoghlaim i Nant Gwrtheyrn sa Bhreatain Bheag i mí na Bealtaine. Ansin i mí Iúil rachaidh mé go Oideas Gael i nGleann Cholm Cille an Scoil Shamhraidh i dTeanga & Cultúr a dhéanamh. I ndiaidh sin déanfaidh mé cúrsa amhránaíocht as Gaeilge na hAlban i gColáiste Sabhal Mòr Ostaig san Oileán Sciathanach. Tá dhá seachtaine saoire eile agam, ach na chinn mé cá bhfuil mé ag dul go fóill.

Holidays

Recently I’ve been thinking about where to go on holiday this year. I’ve decided to do a Welsh language course at Nant Gwrtheyrn in Wales in May. Then in July I’ll be off to Ireland for the Irish Language and Culture Summer School at Oideas Gael in Glencolmcille. After that, I’ll go to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the Gaelic College on the Isle of Skye, to do a course in Gaelic Song. I have two more weeks of holiday left but haven’t decided where to go yet.

Ddydd Gwener es i i’r optegwr am brawf llygaid a darganfodais bod ngolwg wedi gwella. Felly dw i’n gorfod sbectol newyd - nid peth rhad yw sbectol, yn arbennig y lensiau, ond does dim dewis ‘da fi. O’n i’n bwriadu prynu gitâr clasurol yr wythnos hon; bellach bydda i’n gwneud hyn yr wythnos nesaf.

Nos Fawrth es i i barti crempog - mae un o’r nghyfaill yn trefnu partïon crempog bob blwyddyn ers talwryn yn ei weithdy ger yr amgueddfa bysgota. Roedd llawer o fwyd blasus a phobl dyddorol yno ac mwynheuais yn fawr.

Spéaclaí agus pancóige

Dé hAoine chuaigh chuig an radharceolaí agus fuair mé tástáil radhairc. Fuair mé amach go bhfuil feabhas ar mo radharc na súl agus tá orm spéaclaí nua a cheannach - níl rud saor atá spéaclaí, go hairithe na lionsaí, ach níl rogha agam. Bhí rún agam giotár clasaiceach a cheannach; anois beidh mé sin a dhéanamh an seachtaine seo chugainn.

Oíche Mháirt chuaigh mé chuig coisir pancóg - bíonn aon de mo chairde coisir a choinnigh ina cheardlann in aice leis iarsmalann na hiascaireachta gach bliana le blianta anuas. Bhí go leor bia blasta agus daoine suimiúla ann agus bhain mé an sult as.

Specs and pancakes

On Friday I went to the optician for an eye test and discovered that my sight has improved somewhat. So I need new specs - there’s not cheap, especially the lenses, but I don’t have a choice. I was planning to buy a classical guitar this week, but will probably wait till next week now.

I went to a pancake party on Tuesday night - one of my friends has been putting on such parties every year for quite a few years in his workshop down by the fishing museum on the seafront. There was loads of great food and interesting people there, and I had a great time.

Neithiwr perfformiodd y Côr Meibion Brighton mewn eglwys yn Seaford. Nghyngerdd cyntaf gyda’r côr oedd e, mwynheuais yn fawr ac na theimlais yn nerfus o gwbl. Fe ganon ni 21 cân, yn gynnwys tri yn y Gymraeg (Myfanwy, Ar Hyd y Nos a Nos Da), ac roedd telynores ifanc ardderchog yn canu’r telyn tra bod ni’n cymryd saib bach. Roedd sŵn y telyn yn hyfrd dros ben. Bydd y cyngerdd nesaf ar Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi yn Lindfield.

Nos Fercher, ymunais â chôr cymunedol (Vox) - maen nhw wedi ffeindio arweinydd newydd o’r diwedd. Canodd yr 11 ohonon ni - wyth merched a thri dyn - amrywiaeth o ganeuon, ac ar ôl yr ymarferiad, aethon i dafarn gerllaw. Fe ges i noson wych a bydda i’n ôl yno yr wythnos nesaf.

Ceolchoirm

Aréir sheinn an Cór Breatnach Brighton in eaglais i Seaford. Mo chéad cheolchoirm leis an cór a bhí sé, bhain mé an-sult as agus ní raibh mé imníoch ar chor a bith. Sheinn muid 21 amhrán, lena n-áirítear trí as Breatnais, agus sheinn cailín óg an cláirseach nuair a bhí sos againn. D’fhuaimnigh an cláirseach go hálainn. Tá an ceolchoirm seo chugainn ann ar an 1 de Mí na Márta i Lindfield.

Oíche Chéadaoin chuaigh mé i gcór pobail (Vox) - tá siad tar éis stiúrthóir nua a fháil faoi dheireadh. Chan an 11 againn - ochtar caillín agus triúir fear - amhráin éagsúla, agus i ndaigh an cleachtadh, chuaigh muid chuig teach tábhairne in aice láimhe. Bhain mé an-oíche agam agus beidh ar ais an tseachtain seo chugainn.

Concert

The Brighton Welsh Male Voice choir sang in a church in Seaford last night. It was my first concert with them, I really enjoyed it, and didn’t feel nervous at all. We sang 21 songs, including three in Welsh (Myfanwy, Ar Hyd y Nos and Nos Da), and a brilliant young harpist played the harp while we had a break. The harp sounded lovely - it’s one of my favourite instruments. Our next concert will be on St. David’s Day in Lindfield.

On Wednesday night I joined a local community choir (Vox), who have finally found a new conductor. The 11 of us - eight women and three blokes - sang a variety of songs, and after the practice most of us went to a nearby pub. It was a very enjoyable evening and I’ll definitely be back there next week.
