I don't ever see a sunset from my garden, because there's a hillside towards the west, but sometimes I see a full moon rising towards the east. It's difficult to see details on a full moon with an ordinary camera and without a telescope. It is just a bright, white circle. Rod Lyon has better photos of details such as craters. He uses a telescope and a better camera. I like taking pictures of details nearby. Look at these barnacles. They look like tiny craters, and the limpet looks like a mountain!

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.
