Sweet flowers - here's spring. There's still a bit of frost in early morning but the sun shines in the middle of the day. There are catkins and blossom in the hedges, there are lots of celandines among the grass and gardens are colourful. There are more lambs in the field too. The ewes like eating silage (but I don't like the smell). My neighbour gave me some flowers - daffodils, tulips, two purple irises and a hyacinth. I put them in an antique jam jar (that I found in the garden). Rooks are starting to nest in tall trees, with a lot of noise. Old empty nests can be seen on bare branches.

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.
