in 2002, one of cardiff bay's modern landmarks, the historic oval basin plaza, was re-christened "roald dahl plass". "plass" means "place" or "square" in norwegian, referring to the acclaimed late writer's norwegian roots. there have also been calls from the public for a permanent statue of him to be erected in cardiff. in 2016, the city is to celebrate the centenary of dahl's birth in llandaff. welsh arts organisations, including national theatre wales, wales millennium centre and literature wales, have come together for a series of events, titled roald dahl 100, including a cardiff-wide city of the unexpected, which will mark his legacy.
dahl's charitable commitments in the fields of neurology, haematology and literacy during his life have been continued by his widow since his death, through roald dahl's marvellous children's charity, formerly known as the roald dahl foundation. the charity provides care and support to seriously ill children and young people throughout the uk. in june 2005, the roald dahl museum and story centre in the author's home village great missenden was officially opened by cherie blair, wife of uk prime minister tony blair, to celebrate the work of roald dahl and advance his work in literacy education. over 50,000 visitors from abroad, mainly from australia, japan, the united states and germany, travel to the village museum every year.

My last weekend was one of the most enjoyable ones. My weekdays are usually monotonous and hard, so I always long for Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately my weekend is too short, that is why I do my best to make it really exciting.
Nothing extraordinary happened last Saturday because I was at school till 2 p.m. and then just went home to relax with my family. I helped my mum cook dinner, then all of us watched a nice movie. It was a comedy “Meet the parents”. The film didn’t have any visual effects or computer graphics, but it was sweet and funny. At 7 p.m. I had a long foam bath, it was such a pleasure which I can afford only at weekends. Then I spent a couple of hours reading an amazing book. So I fell asleep with the book in my hands.
Sunday was completely different. Of course, I got up later than usual. After breakfast I did some housework while I listened to my favourite music. Then my friend phoned me and invited me and my brother to «The Amusement Park». The weather was nice and I agreed. So we took a bus and went to the park. We had so much fun. We went on a ferris wheel and all kinds of rides: water rides, train rides, swing rides. We screamed loudly. I think all kids love the rides. Although my little brother didn’t quite like them, he got scared and even cried sometimes. After that we all went shopping as I needed to find a birthday present for my mother. And I found a beautiful scarf for her. I hope she will love it.
In the evening we were extremely tired but very happy. It was a great weekend. I had a lot of fun.
