It was a bright day, though the wind was quite cold. The sea was blue. The footpath was sheltered from the wind between the hedges in our favourite walk. There are still a lot of blackberries. The little boy likes picking them with his great-grandfather. And he likes climbing up on a big gate to see the horses in our neighbour's field. At last there's a drop of water in the little stream, but there is no torrent or cascade. It is a string of puddles! Here's an unusual insect. I haven't  seen it before. Is it a bee or a fly? It has big eyes. I hope it will not sting or bite. What big eyes it has!

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.
