If you're looking for a sign, this is it.

i’ve also been getting a little better at using cymraeg! i’m not even close to being able to speak full sentences yet, but i’m replacing some english words with cymraeg wherever i can. at work whenever a customer says diolch i can reply with “croeso!”, which i know isn’t much but i really do love the language and want to use it as much as possible. your blog is def helping expand my vocabulary, so thank you so much for that!!

sorry this isn’t more clever or funny, i just wanted to say helo :)

Okay, all of this makes me EXTREMELY happy - diolch am rannu! I’m particularly tickled by you associating the omnipresence of Mistar Urdd with my blog rather than Eisteddfod yr Urdd Ynys Môn - I miss having him as my icon!

Under the soft light of the doorway, a mother finds moments to rest while never straying far from the two tiny lives she has brought into the world. Sometimes she watches from above, listening and keeping guard, and other times she curls around them, holding them close against her warmth. In these early days they sleep, stretch, and search for comfort, knowing only the safety of their mother and the small home that shelters them. It is a simple scene, but one filled with devotion, instinct, and the quiet beginning of two new little lives growing under her care.

Original edit under the cut!

And there was this one guy I talked with who seemed super sharp, but had virtually zero experience writing software. When it came time to do the show-n-tell part of the interview he whips out his laptop, brings up a website, and spins it around to show me what he made.

A website of tiny ceramic frogs.

Not for sale. Just… all these ceramic frogs, organized into categories. Frogs on bicycles, frogs with hats, frogs sitting on lily pads. It was a virtual museum of ceramic frogs in web form.

I scrolled through his online collection of frogs, slightly baffled.

“This is your website?” I asked finally.

“Yep!”

“You coded this yourself?” I popped into view-source mode and poked around some incredibly well-formatted, well-commented html. I nodded slowly. This guy was meticulous.

“Yep!”

“So… where’d all the frogs come from?”

“I made those too,” he says, beaming. 

And while I’m processing this he rummages in his bag and pulls out a little ceramic frog working at a computer terminal. He places it on the table before us, next to the laptop.

“And THIS one,” he says, “I made for you! As a thank you for the interview.”

It was adorable. I hired him on the spot. I mean, why not? Worst case he’d wash out in 90 days and we’d hire somebody else. He turned out to be one of the best developers on our team.
