I was wrestling with a coat hanger, can you guess who won?

Despite spending rather more of the afternoon at the doctor's than planned, I do not consider the day a total loss because it contained an unexpectedly successful nebulizer treatment, the acquisition of bagels and chopped liver, a cinnamon cake donut, and ashlyme introducing me to Idris the Dragon. I have now seen what a gas station looks like when the fire suppression system has been deployed. Fell over in the evening and went down a rabbit hole of Boston vintage radio. Read some film criticism by Graham Greene. Am still not really watching movies myself. My brain could come back online any time.

It is hard to imagine anything much more Welsh-coded than that without actually being in Welsh.
Now I'm thinking of "Pride" (2004), possibly not the usual free-association.

It's also very Welsh. And I will rewatch it basically any time.

Okay THAT'S what the accent is! I was admiring the rolled r's.

I can only roll my R's like that when I sing. I've never been able to do it spoken. I've tried my entire life. (I can roll an R at the back of my throat no problem and I can tap one at the front, but not trill.)
