Ma lavar coth en Sowsnek adro dhe'n gog. "En mis Ebrel, dos hei a wra. Nena, en mis Me, hei a wra cana oll an jedh." Soweth, nag eus cog veth na fella, hevel dhebm. Bettegens, ma whath bleujyow creiys warlergh cuckous. Ottòbma bleujyow an gog reb an eglos. Saw nag ew an re ma an flourys üdnek gen hanow na. Otta bleujen an gog; hebma a vedn dos moy diwedhes. Scavyliggyon a vedh moy diwedhes ewedh. En men termyn, en keow, ma coskednin lowr, enwejek aga blas. Hag òbma ma lilak, wheg y sawarn, ow tevy en gwels.
















There's an old saying in English about the cuckoo. "In April, come she will. Then, in May, she'll sing all day." Unfortunately, there are no cuckoos any more, it seems to me. However, there are still plenty of flowers named after cuckoos. Here are bluebells by the church. But these are not the only flowers with that name. Here is Lady's Smock; this will come later. Cuckoo-pint will be later as well. Meanwhile, in the hedges, there is plenty of ramsons, with their distinctive smell. And here's a lilac, with a beautiful perfume, growing wild.

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.
