Around my wrist I have a bracelet of green jade beads and the new bracelet I commissioned from Zoe which is a three-green byzantine link in aluminium. In my hand I'm holding the fidget cube that Zoe also made for me which is in two shades of green. Tricky taking a photo with my phone one-handed, so they actually look even better than in the photo.
Over the moon with my new bracelet and fidget cube, they are so comfortable and look beautiful ๐ ๐ . @zoelocke.bsky.social has made an amazing job of them, exactly what I wanted - thanks from the heart Zoe, you're a star! ๐

Wrth fy modd efo fy mreichled a chiwb cyffroad newydd, maen nhw'n mor gyfforddus ac yn edrych yn hardd. ๐๐. Mae @zoelocke.bsky.social wedi neud gwaith anhygoel arnyn nhw, yn union be' o'n i isio - diolch o'r galon Zoe, ti'n seren! ๐

99 pennies! Canโt even buy a 99 for that anymore. Bargain!
But we'd like to know the whereabouts of the others.
There was one in Capel y Babell, Cwmfelinfach - which we think may be in Blackwood.
We think another one may potentially be in a church in Caerphilly, and potentially the other still in the family.
Any info would be useful!
Some help please! Angen help!
We're doing some research into Islwyn, and are looking for information on the whereabouts of his 4 chairs.
He won at Rhyl 1870, Holyhead 1872, Caerphilly 1874, and at Treherbert 1877.
The Caerphilly one was in the Winding House (diolch @rhiandafydd.bsky.social).

"That Wales is known as the land of song is increasingly ironic, as its musical life edges ever closer to collapse."
Strong words in this week's Private Eye:
That confirms it... I'm snaccident-prone.

It has two thick upright iron bars, crossed by one thick horizontal bar, with smaller lattice panes of diamond and pointed rectangle panes of glass. The glass is dirty, obscuring the view of a building outside. The windows were all made on site and used small panes of glass in order to prevent the windows breaking during blasting in the nearby quarries.
