  5. Finally, the false narrative of a cosy 'Team Wales', not-for-profit Welsh Water company has been blown apart.

    Welsh Water has never been what it seems, aggressively advancing the 'not-for-profit' line on the public and politicians alike. Its finance expenses now account for 27p of each £1 revenue - just 3p behind Thames Water - despite having no shareholders.

    This criticism, of course, ought to have happened years ago.

  10. Earlier this year I had collections in my care that were from the #Aberfan disaster. It was profoundly emotional.

    Some were from inside the school house, others donated by the rescuers and parents.

    I didn't actually work on most of them (a fellow freelancer did), but I did make a supportive shape and an accompanying costume cover for a coat worn by a rescuer. It still has the dust on it. Long may it remain.

    Aberfan was 60 years ago today.

    Go hug your children.

  11. Ransomware Breach Exposes Thousands of Children's Data in Wales

    A decade-old test account with a ridiculously weak password, "Password1", left the door wide open for hackers to breach Data Cymru's network, exposing sensitive data of thousands of children and their families in Wales. This shocking lapse in security highlights the devastating consequences of neglecting basic password protection.

  13. What an eyesore! My day at Norfolk’s frightful fridge mountain
    By Sam Wollaston

    This summer alone, 26 local authorities in the UK had to stop accepting fridges and freezers for recycling. Now the appliances are piling up around the country – with no proper disposal date in sight

  17. Aber - fan (21 Hydref 1966)

    I Hamelin erstalwm,
    os yw'r hen stori'n ffaith,
    fe ddaeth rhyw bibydd rhyfedd
    yn gwisgo mantell fraith.

    A'r pibydd creulon hwnnw
    â aeth a'r plant i gyd
    a'u cloi, yn ôl yr hanes,
    o fewn y mynydd mud.

    A Hamelin oedd ddistaw
    a'r holl gartrefi'n brudd,
    a mawr fu'r galar yno
    tros lawer nos a dydd.

    Distawodd chwerthin llawen
    y plant wrth chwarae 'nghyd,
    pob tegan bach yn segur,
    a sŵn pob troed yn fud.

    Trist iawn fu hanes colli
    y plant diniwed, gwan -
    yn Hamelin erstalwm,
    heddiw yn Aber-fan.

    T.Llew Jones
