Argraffydd newydd
Ddoe roedd dim ond dau ohonon ni yn y sesiwn yma, ac mi wnaethon ni canu alawon o Ynys Manaw yn bennaf. Doedd dim ymarfer y côr cymuned oherwydd hanner tymor ydy’r wythnos ‘ma. Gyda’r nos mi wnes aros gartref ynhytrach na mynd i’r sesiwn yn y Skerries.
Heddiw mi ddaeth yr argraffydd newydd mi wnes i archebu Ddydd Mawrth. Rhyw wythnos yn ôl mi wnaeth fy hen argraffydd aros i weithio, ac ar ôl chwilio am ffordd i ei atgyweirio, mi wnes i sylweddoli bydd atgyweiriadau yn costio mwy na argraffydd newydd, felly mi wnes prynu un newydd. Mi wnes i prynu silffoedd newydd hefyd i roi’r ffeiliau sy’n gwasgu at ei gilydd ger fy nesg ar hyn o bryd. Dw i’n ymbalfalu i adeiladu nhw.
Yesterday there were only two of us at the session here, and we mainly played tunes from the Isle of Man. There wasn’t a community choir practise because this week is half-term. In the evening I stayed at home rather than going to the session in the Skerries.
Today the new printer I ordered on Tuesday arrived. A few weeks ago my old printer stopped working, and after searching for ways to fix it, I realised that it would cost more to fix it than to buy a new printer, so I bought a new one. I also bought some new shelves for the files that currently huddle together by my desk. I’m struggling to put them together.
Sgwrs amlieithog
Mi wnaeth aelod newydd yn dod i’r grŵp sgwrsio amlieithog ddoe – Almaenes sy’n astudio ecoleg amaethyddol ym Mhrifysgol Bangor. Cyn dod i Fangor mi wnaeth hi’n cysylltu â fi yn gofyn am le i aros dros dro wrth iddi hi chwilio am ystafell i rentu. Roedd gen cyfaill o’r grŵp sgwrsio Ffrangeg ystafell rydd, felly mi wnes i rhoi nhw mewn cysylltiad efo’n gilydd, ac mae’r Almaenes yn aros efo’r cyfaill ‘na bellach. Beth bynnag, mi wnaethon ni siarad yn Almaeneg a Saesneg, ac yn y Wyddeleg hefyd. Mae fy Almaeneg i wedi rhydu, ond dw i’n dal i fedru ei siarad yn eitha’ da. Ar ôl hyn mi wnes i i Global Café, ac mi wnes i siarad yn Mandarineg efo myfyrwyr o Tsieina, ac yn Saesneg efo myfyrwyr o Loegr a Singapore.
Mae tipyn o ddolur gwddw arna i ar hyn o bryd, felly bydda i ddim yn recordio’r testun ‘ma heddiw.
A new member came to the polyglot conversation group yesteray – a German lass who is studying agro-ecology in Bangor Uni. Before coming to Bangor she contacted me asking for a temporary place to stay while she looked for a room to rent. A friend of mine from the French conversation group had a spare room, so I put them in touch with each other, and the German lass is now staying with that friend. Anyway, we talked in German and English, and in Irish as well. My German is a bit rusty, but I can still speak it fairly well. After that I went to Global Café, and I talked in Mandarin with some students from China, and in English with students from England and Singapore.
I have a bit of a sort throat, so won’t be recording this text today.
