Enviüs o vy. Theram ow perthy avy ort ow flehes wydn, drefen bos re a nerth dhodhans, ha ma whans dhebm a radn anodho!

Flehes ew heb complethter; mons ow cavas lôwender en taclow sempel, pecar'a trampolîn po tesen bednbloodh.










I'm envious. I'm envious of my grandchildren, because they have too much energy, and I want some of it! They are not afraid of high places; they run on hillsides and climb on rocks. They are not scared. Wind and cold water are not a problem to them, and who needs shoes? Children are uncomplicated - they find delight in simple things, like a trampoline or a birthday cake.

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.
