Can fish be beautiful? Definitely. I found photos on the web, very tiny fish, very beautiful, part of the zooplankton. I don't know their names. What's in a name? There are several fish names that are not liked by English ears. For that reason, the English won't eat the fish. (Those fish aren't very pretty either.) Before Brexit, 95% of megrims (soles) and 85% of spider crabs caught by Cornish fishermen were sold to Spain. Now there are problems with exports. The fishermen want to sell to the English, so they have changed the names - Cornish sole and Cornish king crab. According to Jack Stein, they are good value and delicious. Megrim tastes like plaice.

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.
