Ass ew hedro an awel! Terweythyow nei a wel treth, whethys gen gwens crev, ha terweythyow ma niwlen ow rolya dhort an mor gen gwens hedh. Nena, na ellen nei gweles an mor. Cott termyn wòj'hedna gellys ew an niwl loos ha nei a wel ebòrn blou ha cloudys gwydn. Ass ew teg an cloudys! Thew radn anodhans brith avel briel (brithel). (Eus keveren tredh an geryow "brith" ha "brithel" po "briel"? Pe a veu an kensa?) Ma cloudys erel pecar'a pelednow gwlân coton (po knew gwlân davas). Nena, en termyn an nos, comolek o an ebòrn arta ha na alja nei gweles an loor. Hei a dalvia bos loor leun brâs - "gor"-loor, Loor Sevy. (Nag ew hei rüdh en gwrionedh!)










How changeable the weather is! Sometimes we see sand, blown by a strong wind, and sometimes a bank of fog is rolling from the sea with a gentle wind. Then, we cannot see the sea. A short time after that the grey fog has gone and we see blue sky and white clouds. How pretty the clouds are! Some of them are striped like a mackerel. (Is there a connection between the words "striped" and "mackerel"? Which was the first?) There are other clouds like little balls of cottonwool (or sheep's fleece). Then, at night, the sky was cloudy again and we couldn't see the moon. It ought to have been a big full moon - a "super"-moon, Strawberry Moon. (It's not really red!)

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.
