You can protect yourself with an umbrella.
You could protect property with shiny objects such as CDs.
One seagull put white poop on our car when we stopped briefly.

Wonderful Welsh - and how to start learning any language
Problem
I want to learn Welsh. Why. A relative of mine protests, "What for? Even the Welsh don't speak Welsh!"
Answers
I'd like to understand the words of Welsh songs. On a visit to Wales, or going though my old CDs, I sit listening to a harpist or Welsh male voice choir. What are they singing about? I would be so much more interesting if I understood the words.
I have started learning Welsh with d u o l i n g o.com (spaces inserted to evade the automatic spell checker).
To keep myself on track and help you I've made a list of the words and my memory aids.
In a notebook I number the pages in the top corner. On the inside cover, I draw a margin and draw a series of horizontal lines with a ruler. I list the pager numbers down the margin. Then, if I have the Welsh on only one page, I can quickly find it. Here is my starter list of words.
Welsh - English
coffee - coffi
English - Welsh

An alternative is to list your words in a blog, as I have. Or write them in Notes in your phone. Read them whenever you are waiting for a bus or train.
More later.
