Guy mentioned yesterday about what celebrations there are for St. Davids Day. There are a few going on, and a lot of people are doing increasingly more to celebrate (myself? I’m drinking Brains St David’s Ale), but the school kids did a parade yesterday. I took a few photos from work, and heavily edited them as not to get in trouble (you could kinda make out where I worked with the originals).
Okay, it’s hardly Mardi Gras, but a few years ago they did sod all. It’s nice that our local town is doing something – closing the main road to run a parade. There was also a few promotional buses parked outside of town – I got a Rugby Ball which I caught with a catch that’d make a Paul Collingwood Catch look ordinary. So it was a good day yesterday!
The other piece of good news was from Text Link Ads, who paid me for hosting ads on my blog.

Right, at 12:30 today I’m buggering off to London to be with Han, Celeste, Guy and whoever else wants to show their face around Covent Garden area on a Saturday Night. Have a lovely weekend whatever you do, and I’ll see you all Sunday, my Birthday!

Have fun in London
(which kind of goes without saying.)
I notice a lot more these days that we are celebrating the national holidays..well except St George..I don’t think I have seen anyone celebrate that.
Happy Birthday for sunday too
Yep, have a great weekend Rhys, and Happy Birthday! Penblwydd Hapus i ti!
St David’s Day is hardly like the almighty drunken fest that St Patrick’s Day is though is it… I think we need to remedy this in the future
I still remember the day when I first received my TLA payment via check. I didn’t get nothing out of it, just covered the clearing charges.
Nice blog BTW
I still say you fell and the rugby ball landed into your mits
And are you allowed to take photo’s of school kids…!
Tomorrow shall be fun – weathers looking promising too!! Just a bit nippy, might have to rethink the shorts idea which makes me sad!
hahahahahha only $25! mwahaha check me and my $64.75! lol.
I first payment was 138$, but I got only 67$ after clearing
Thank you for the Welsh lesson. As a son of Llanbedr in Gwynedd, far from the Moel Fra, your blog–my daughter told me to read it, had me howling. I’d forgotten cachi ban! I must use it more often!
Jan: Thanks for your kind words.
Thilak: Thanks for visiting! Didn’t you accept it via paypal or ask for the cheque converted to your own money? I suppose being the son of a banker you get aware of these things. Oh well, once bitten, twice shy!
Han: You’re paying for drinks this weekend
Guy: You can, just make sure you can’t make them out.
Ryan: I say we shall, especially with Brains Ale
Debbie & Sibz: Cheers! I will!
Well.. I didn’t choose the paypal option. The default option was by Check.
Later on, I changed it to PayPal
Do you have a contact page?
Are you getting paid to plug Brains Ale… nothing hits the spot like cool smooth Brains Ale mm mmmmm
i’ve never tasted Brain’s Ale but dammit do i want to now!
For me Brains is now synonimous (sp?) with Katherine Jenkins belting out “Mae’r hen wlad fy nhadau” (sp again?). I defy anyone to name a sports shirt which is more attractive than the current Wales rugby one. Mmm Katherine Jenkins
It’s Sunday in Australia so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it’s an awesome day and night for you!
Happy birthday too, as its after midnight. Anyway, just wondering, with Paddy in mind above. How is it fair that Australia gets to have some of the best Cricketers, Rugby Players, daytime soaps (according to my female friends, and Rhys of course), deserts, wild animals, wild animal presenters, coral reefs, etc _and_ also live in the time zone that let’s them get everything first. I just about coped with knowing you jammy aussies had the Millenium before us, but now you are taking Rhys’ 23rd birthday too!?!?
