I’m getting very involved in my current Canolradd course reading book, where “involved” means I want to beat Llewelyn with my shoe, and I want to sit Dwynwen down with a brew and point out all the ways she could do so much better.

Later on, he airily tells her he’s a wine connoisseur, before ordering lambrini and pork scratchings.

Page from Croesi’r Bont (a novel for Welsh learners at Lefel Canolradd. The heroine Dwynwen has met her old crush Llewelyn. She doesn’t seem to have realised that he is a gross, arrogant blowhard. In this extract, we note his leopard print cravat and the fact that his combover is flapping in the wind of the overhead fan.
The following page from the same book. Llewelyn says he is an actor performing in a play written by “the best playwright in the word”. Dwynwen makes several guesses as to the author, before Llewelyn admits that the world’s best playwright is…Llewelyn himself!! (Spoiler alert: he’s deluded)

My marginal annotations are 50% vocabulary and 50% “Oh, god: he’s such a twat!”
