Learning Welsh

A while back, I would play my Pink Floyd CD while working on the computer. Background music. Like white noise. Or pink noise, maybe.

More recently, I'd put a Jason Bourne movie in the DVD player. Not to watch it, just for background.

Now it's Hinterland. I've seen most of the Season Two on Netflix already, but not enough times to have it as background. So it's Season One, front to back.

Couple minutes ago I needed a break, got up from the computer, went and sat by the dog. The TV was on. Hinterland was on. I watched it for a moment and suddenly understood the word heddlu. It's Welsh for "police".

Duh. All this time I thought it must be a place, like "Causton" in Midsomer Murders.
