The duck has a husband. Here she is in our garden early in the morning. The drake looks rather thread-bare! Perhaps, they are looking for seeds or slugs. There is still frost on the grass and primroses in the shadows, but it has thawed in the warmth of the sun. There are bluebells mixed with primroses near the hedge, by the little cherry tree. (I have never had a single cherry!) There's a label on it, "patio cherry". And can you see the jackdaw? There is apple blossom in the hedgerow - perhaps it will be a good year for apples. (the past year was not very good.)

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.
