There are road-signs all around. Work is needed in several places. But what sort of work is it? Why is it necessary for cars to go in single file? There's a hole in the road, made by South West Water. Somebody needed new pipes. "We are sorry for any inconvenience" says their notice. They have done essential maintenance. There are hurdles round the hole. There's another sign near the old railway. "Caution. Site entrance for construction traffic." The work is going ahead on the new track for cycling.

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.
