It's spring, and that means countrywide activity. Here are some noisy jackdaws around St Piran's church tower, going in and out of the high window slits, nesting. There are jackdaws in our chimney too. Two birds fought in our garden. There's activity and hyperactivity (and laughter) in our house now! A little boy, aged two, never stops. And if there is a young child, then there will be chaos. There are bricks, cars, stuffed toys and dinosaurs on the floor. Take care not to stumble! His mother has a lot of work to do unpacking bags and boxes.

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.
