A grey day again, but there isn't a lot of rain. I don't need an umbrella today. Instead, there is fog and low clouds. I can't see the sea and St Agnes Beacon. The landscape is faded. There is no horizon. Is there beauty in weather like this? There are many artists who have painted rain and umbrellas, all around the world. Some pictures are serious and some of them are humorous. Norman Garstin painted a wet promenade (near Morrab Gardens) in Penzance: "The rain it raineth every day". This is not a good advertisement for the seaside! Jack Vettriano's "The singing butler" is more amusing and more colourful. Magritte decided to paint men instead of raindrops. There is driving rain in Hiroshige's woodcut. And are Renoir's umbrellas the best known?

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...

Will I lose my right mind soon? What is next? The first boy was sick again half an hour before midnight, and the second boy was sick twelve hours later. Lots of washing. The washing machine worked non-stop for many hours.
