Sometimes I don't have a single idea! What can I write? Then, my granddaughter sends me a photo of a high tide in the morning. (She's at the bus stop by the beach.) There's a proverb "A tide in the morning is not worth anything". There are no fishing boats here now, so that is not relevant. Why is the high tide so high? There is a full moon. Low tide is very low too. I found a report on "Cornwalllive". There is a record low tide, the lowest tide since February 2014. Photojournalist Greg Martin took some amazing photos of the remains of a submerged ancient forest in Mounts Bay. St Michael's Mount is called "The Grey Rock in the Wood". Many tree trunks, stumps and roots are exposed, as well as big patches of peat. Geologists used carbon dating on the peat. It is between 4,000 and 6,000 years old. Thank you, Greg Martin for the splendid pictures.

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...

An jynn-gòlhy a lavüryas heb hedhy lies our. There's a proverb in ancient Greek tragedy. Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad (deprive them of sanity). 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.
