"Nag ew gwav," emedh an Hosta! Ma va en telher redenek goskeusys.  "Gwav ew, aredy," emedh agan kentrevoges. "Ow stabel a gollas y do en Enawel Arwen."

"It's not winter," says the Hosta! It is flowering in a sheltered, ferny place. It is certainly winter," says our neighbour. "My stable lost its roof in Storm Arwen." That was the windiest night in our memories. This house didn't lose all its roof. It lost several tiles. The wind blew other things too. The poppy wreaths by the war memorial are in disarray. One road sign is lying on its side, and another sign is weighted down as a precaution.

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.
