Off-Topic What are you reading?

I used to be able to read and write in both English and Welsh but my written Welsh is appalling now...

So I have started trying to read a version of the Mabinogion online...hard going tbf...

On the plus side I haven't gone to work today which will piss my boss off no end but I have tightened the plastic retaining nut up on the integrated flush in the bog where I live...It had come loose you see and the mechanism wasn't as effective as it could be..

There was even a slight weep that I diagnosed and corrected so Welsh Water and my Landlord will be delighted.

A great day.

Problem with any translation is that if the copyright has expired you're probably looking at a very dated version which jars a bit

It's like wading through treacle.. They are fables anyway and written in the old hand but I was/am trying to get back in touch with Yr Hen Iaith

The Mabinogion can be a slog at the best of times.

Maybe try following the news on Welsh on BBC or some social media where they use proper Welsh? Example below

Deke Leonard, Maybe I Should've Stayed In Bed, very amusing. I read Rhinos, Winos, and Lunatics a while ago, this is the same, filled with humour, about a musician, easy to read and with Welsh roots, what's not to like?
