Wrth i Strictly dychwelyd yfory, cymerwn gip ar y cerdyn dawns hyfryd yma, sydd â phensil ynghlwm! Marciwyd y cerdyn yn Ail Ddawns Flynyddol Cymdeithas Groseriaid Caerdydd ar 13 Ionawr 1897. Mae’n rhan o gasgliad y Teulu Benjamin o Benarth, oedd a chysylltiad gyda’r busnes siopau bwyd yn lleol.

As Strictly returns tomorrow, we’re looking at this lovely dance card, complete with pencil! It was marked at the Cardiff Grocer’s Association’s 2nd Annual Ball on 13 January 1897. The card is part of the papers of the Benjamin Family of Penarth, who had links with the grocery business locally.

💚 This month marks 100 years since the UK’s first qualified occupational therapist, Margaret Barr Fulton took up a post in Aberdeen. To honour her legacy, @nhsgrampian.bsky.social unveiled a plaque to celebrate a century of OT: https://loom.ly/FJm4HS8

Please show some love and read the article as 1xWikipedia reviewing editor deemed LC 'not notable' enough for Wikipedia 😑 Luckily other editors challenged this. I wonder, why are only 20% biographical articles in English on W abt women? 🤔 #NursesInRed #WomenInRed ✊ @rcnhistory.bsky.social
