Recently I have seen several sour plants. On verges between road and hedge I saw sorrel or sheep sorrel. Apparently, it's possible to eat their sour leaves - raw in salad or boiled like spinach. Take care, don't eat the leaves of bitter dock (they have too much oxalic acid in them). There's rhubarb in the shops, with long, thick red stalks. It's a vegetable, but it is used like a fruit, with sugar in pies and crumbles. A long time ago, rhubarb came from Asia. It was used in traditional Chinese medicine - to cure constipation. Be careful, don't eat the leaves (they have too much oxalic acid in them). You could get kidney stones. However, they are good for cleaning saucepans!

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.
