Pleserau syml ~ Simple pleasures

Roedd dydd Sadwrn yn fwyaf dymunol. Aethon ni allan gyda'r teulu i gael brecinio mewn bwyty Twrcaidd ar Ffordd y Ddinas. doedd dim ohonom ni wedi bod yna o'r blaen felly roedden ni edrych ymlaen at brofiad newydd. Doedden ni ddim siomedig. Roedd y pryd o fwyd yn fwyaf blasus ad roedd e'n ddigon o fwyd. Roedden i wedi cael pitsa Twrcaidd (lahmacun) i ddechrau ac roedd e'n fwyaf pleserus - fel gweddill y pryd o fwyd. Ar ddiwedd roedden ni cael coffi a ddaeth mewn cwpanau hardd. Roedd e'n brofiad arbennig.

Gwnaethon ni gerdded yn ôl i'r tŷ ac yn ymweld ag ychydig o siopau ar y ffordd. Aethon ni i mewn siop Fwslimaidd am y tro cyntaf ac roedden ni cael sgwrs gyda'r fenyw yn y siop. Roedd e’n dda i glywed am gyflunedd rhwng Bwdhaeth ac Islam - o leiaf wrth gyfrif gweddïau ar leiniau.

Yn y prynhawn hwyr aethon ni allan eto i'r Gerddi Pleser ym Mharc y Rhath. Ffeindion ni buchod coch cwta sy'n dod allan o'u larfa. Doeddwn i ddim wedi gweld buchod coch cwta du gyda smotiau coch o'r blaen. Roedd Sam dan gyfaredd.

Gwnaethon ni gerdded yn ôl i'r tŷ am dipyn bach o ginio - ond doedden ni ddim eisiau llawer o fwyd ar ôl ein brecinio Twrcaidd yn y bore. Gwnaethon ni ddarllen i Sam cyn iddo fe fynd i wely. Yn y noswaith, chwaraeon ni gêm bwrdd cyn roedd e'n amser i ni fynd adre.

Roedd e'n ddiwrnod syml, gyda phleserau syml


Saturday was most pleasant. We went out with the family to get baked in a Turkish restaurant on City Road. We had not been there before, so we looked forward to new experience. We were not disappointed. The meal was most delicious and it was enough food. I had initially got a Turkish pizza (lahmacun) and it was most enjoyable - like the rest of the meal. At the end we got coffee that came in beautiful cups. It was a special experience.

We walked back to the house and visited a few shops on the way. We went into a Muslim shop for the first time and we had a conversation with the woman in the shop. It was good to hear about similarity between Buddhism and Islam - at least when counting prayers on beads.

In the late afternoon we went out again to the Pleasure Gardens in Roath Park. We found ladybirds emerging from their larvae.. I had not seen black ladybirds with red spots before. Sam was spellbound.

We walked back to the house for a little lunch - but we did not want a lot of food after our Turkish brunch in the morning. We read Sam before he went to bed. In the evening, we did not play a board game before it was time for us to go home.

It was a simple day, with simple pleasures.
