Maen hir ~ Monolith


“All the radiance of April in Italy lay gathered together at her feet, The sun poured in on her, The sea lay asleep in it, hardly stirring, Across the bay the lovely mountains, exquisitely different in colour, were asleep too in the light; and underneath her window, at the bottom of the flower-starred gray slope from which the wall of the castle rose up, was a great cypress, cutting rough the delicate blues and violets and rose-colours of the mountains and the sea like a great black sword.”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, (The Enchanted April', Seven Treasures Publications, 2011, p40)

Roedd diwrnod prysur heddiw. Cyrhaeddodd fy matres, yn edrych fel y maen hir oddi ar '2001 Odyseia Gofod' (diolch i John Lewis). Cawson ni'r ymweliad cyntaf o'r glanhawyr ffenestri newydd (gan gynnwys ein cyntaf glanhawraig ffenestri).

Aeth Nor'dzin i Ysbyty Rookwood i gael brechiad Covid. Roeddwn i'n mynd i fynd gyda hi, ond pan mae'r fatres yn cyrraedd, wedi'i dylyn yn gyflyn gan y glanhawyr ffenestri, roedd rhaid i mi aros gartre.

Gwnes i gymryd fy mhilsen pwysedd gwaed cyntaf heddiw ac yn teimlo tipyn bach wedi blino ar ôl - neu efallai mai dyna fel ydw i. Byddwn ni gweld sut mae'n mynd.

Cawson ni sleisen cyntaf o fy mara, ac mae'n bendant yn well na bara 'masnachol'.

Today was a busy day. My mattress arrived, looking like the long stone (monolith) from '2001 A Space Odyssey' (thanks to John Lewis). We had the first visit from the new window cleaners (including our first window cleaner).

Nor'dzin went to Rookwood Hospital for a Covid vaccination. I was going to go with her, but when the mattress arrived, closely followed by the window cleaners, I had to stay at home.

I took my first blood pressure pill today and felt a bit tired afterwards - or maybe that's just me. We'll see how it goes.

We had a first slice of my bread, and it is definitely better than 'commercial' bread.
