My re dhallathas podkast yn Kernewek! I've started a podcast in Cornish!

Just a bit of fun, where I read some of the texts I've written during my course, go over the vocab and read again so you get a bit of listening practice. Have a listen if you're interested.

Llevolu'l Sumiciu

Trasgu is similar to the lesser known 'el sumiciu' in Asturias, and like some other northern mischievous spirits and goblins, has its roots in Celtic mythology.

The only people who complain about other people apologising too much are rude people or people who have problems with social interaction. I will not apologise for this take.

Right, enough is enough. This is the only flag I want to see. All the other flags are for flag shaggers.

As a bonus, you get to see a beautiful white horse.

I have literally just done the same. I left the other place because of the outrageously disgusting anti-Muslim posts which were allowed to take hold, and fear I'll be doing the same with this place because of the anti-Semitic ones. What a world.
