Oedd hi’n braf ddoe ac treuliais y prynhawn yn sglefrolio ar y promenâd, rhywbeth a wna i pan mae’r tywydd yn dda ac sdim pethau eraill ‘da fi i wneud. Wel, a dweud y gwir, fel arfer bydda i’n treulio mwy o amser yn sgwrsio gyda nghyfeillion nac yn sglefrolio.

Dechreuais sglefrolio pan yn wyf neu naw oed. Pan o’n i yn yr ysgol uwchradd, aethon ni sglefrio ar iâ ym Mlackpool ambell waith. Tra o’n i yn Nhaiwan, prynais sglefrolio inline a dechreuais yn sglefrolio yn ddifri. Ers hynny, dw i wedi sglefrolio ar bob achlysur mod i’n gallu, a dw i wedi cwrdd â llawer o bobl o bob cefndir trwy sglefrolio. Un o’r rhesymau pam mod i’n eisiau byw ym Mrighton oedd achos bod promenâd hir yma – lle addas iawn ar gyfer sglefrolio.

Bhí lá bréa ann inné agus chaith mé an tráthnóna ag scátáil ar an promanád, rud atá mé a dhéanamh nuair atá an aimsir go maith agus níl rudaí eile a dhéanamh agam. Bhuel, déanta na fírinne, bím ag caitheamh níos mó amser ag comhrá a dhéanamh le mo chuid cairde ná ag scátáil.

Thosaigh mé ag scátáil le scátaí rothacha nuair a bhí mé ocht nó naoi. Nuair a bhí mé sa mheánscoil, chuaigh muid ag scátáil i mBlackpool cúpla uair. Nuair a bhí mé i dTaiwan, cheanaigh mé scátaí inlíne agus thosaigh ag scátáil i ndáiríre. Ó shin beinn ag scátáil gach uair is féidir liom, agus chasainn le go leor daoine ó gach gairm bheatha trí scátáil. Mar atá promanád fada anseo – ait ar fheabhas ar scátáil – bhí réasún amhain cad chuige ba mhaith liom i mo chonaí i mBrighton.

It was a nice day yesterday and I spent the afternoon (inline) skating on the prom. When the weather’s good and I have nothing else to do, I go skating. Well, in fact I often spend more time chatting with my friends than actually skating.

I started rollerskating at the age of eight or nine. While at secondary school I went on a number of school trips to Blackpool where we went iceskating. I bought my first pair of inline skates while I was in Taiwan and started skating seriously. Since then I’ve skated whenever I can and have met many people from all walks of life through skating. One of the reasons I wanted to live in Brighton was because there’s a long promenade here – an ideal place for skating.
