Agan mergh wydn a gachas tren en mettin a-varr rag mos dhe universita, bes wòja li otta hei arta. Y vab bian a whejas diweth (po moy) ha res veu dhodhans skydnya ha dos tre.      Are there more things that can go wrong? We need a plumber again. We have two showers, and they malfunctioned on the same night. One leaked in a wrong place, and the other stopped running completely. Is there a hole in a small pipe or is a pipe somehow disconnected? Did a fuse blow? Our granddaughter caught a train early in the morning to go to university, but after lunch here she is again. Her little boy was sick twice (or more) and they had to get off and come ba...

  De Sül, nessa mis Genver Sunday, 2nd January   Agan vysytoryon a vedn mos tre avorow. Rag hedna, ma meur a whel dhe wil. Nag ens whansek a vos gen cofer dilhas leun a dilhas ploos. An maw bian a whejas e'n nos. Etho, an jynn gòlhy ew besy, ha'n sehador domhel. Na wrüga vy còsca etta e'n nos, ha lebmyn res ew dhebm divüna a-varr. Nag eus whans dhewgh gweles fôtôs veth! Nag o vy besyon teg! Martesen, avorow ow bownans a vedn daskemeres tabm a gompòster.        Our visitors will go home tomorrow. Therefore, there's a lot of work to do. They are not desirous of going with a suitcase full of dirty clothes. The little boy was sick in the night. So, the washing machine is busy, and the tumble dryer. I didn't sleep well in the night, and now I have to wake up early. You don't want to see any photos! I am not a pretty sight! Perhaps, tomorrow my life will get back a bit of normality.

De Meurth, pajwora mis Genver Tuesday, 4th January   Nag eus finweth dhe dhrog chons, car dre hevel. O vy moredhek?

Ma hedna ow menya moy liednow ha dilhas rag an jynn-gòlhy avorow. There is no limit to bad luck, so it seems. Am I pessimistic? Mishaps come in threes, but I have had more than three disasters already. What is the problem today? Our daughter is ill and she can't collect her children. I must entertain them. We played hangman many times, and chess and cards. What do sick children like to eat? Perhaps a few grapes. But that was not a very good idea. Eleven o'clock, the lit...

Terweythyow, thew an flehes lôwen heb gwaryellow, ow mos dhe dreth ha scappya an todnow ow tos rag, palas tell po whilas bily ha cregyn dhe les. After Christmas, children have a choice of toys and activities. Some of them are quiet (drawing) and some are noisy (drums). Some go well and some others are unsuccessful. A wind blew a flying toy into the branches of a tree. Sometimes, the children are happy without toys, going to a beach and running away from the advancing waves, digging holes or looking for interesting pebbles and shells.

Was it a good year or a bad year? There were many bad things for Cornwall and for me and my family, but there were good things, as well. Let us all hope for a better year to begin after midnight. Chase away the bad things with fireworks! And let us all read and write and speak and listen to more and more of our beautiful Cornish language.

Ma hei ow còmpla "sten e'n gover" ha "hêrn ha hêrn gwydn leb ow terlentry ha gòlowy".     Today, my family went out to visit other members of the family. I stayed behind. An empty house is very peaceful! I listened to several songs by Brenda Wootton. There are songs by her in the English, Cornish and Breton languages. "Pasties and Cream" is a popular song. It mentions "tin in the stream" and "pilchards and herrings that sparkle and gleam".
