Popty ping is the Welsh vernacular for microwave. Much better than the “meicrodon”, which sounds more like a newly discovered dinosaur.
I suppose Welsh is a very ancient language.

Coincidentally, in mid Wales, where it’s still rather chilly, I’ve seen the first swallows of the season today, checking out the old nests. Watching the airborne acrobatics does rather lift one’s spirits.

I had no idea that the family law world had lost James: how sad. And, such a touching and poignant description of all that JTKC was. Well said, @familybrief.bsky.social

And a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours.
