This blackbird likes to eat ivy berries. This bird does not come to the basket of seeds hanging on a wall hook near the window. I have not seen any other birds eating those berries. Perhaps they are too large for little birds, or perhaps they don't have a nice taste. The blackbird can't perch on a little perch to eat my seeds. A bluetit lik…

Gellys ew an Deger Dowr. There was a full moon last night in the night. It’s called “Snow Moon” in North America because there is snow on the ground in February (although there is no snow in Cornwall). Other names are “Hunger Moon” and “Storm Moon”. It’s a big moon because it’s nearer to the Earth. (The moon’s orbit is not a perfect circle – it’s an oval/ellipse.) Yesterday was the first day of the zodiac sign “Pisces”. Aquarius has gone.

Gwell ew ganjans gwary gik po cosca.
When I was a young girl I had a black tomcat. He was half Siamese (an Oriental breed), very skinny and bony and quite clever. He was called Napoleon. Unfortunately, he liked to hunt pheasants. One day he disappeared. Did the gamekeeper catch him? Fortunately, my lazy cats nowadays don't want to catch anything. (And there aren't any pheasants nearby!) They prefer to play hide-and-seek or sleep.

Da ew ganjo gwary whath gen clacker.

There is no school at all today. There is no school at all the whole week. It’s holidays – half-term. My grandchildren don’t need to do anything, so the girl likes to walk with the dog and the boy likes to watch screens – any screen or many screens simultaneously! The baby is too young for school. He still likes to play with a rattle.

Lowen ew an edhyn. Anjei ell cavos lies bulugen. The wooden fence was wind-damaged. It was rotten as well, beause it was old and damp. We had to dismantle it. Then we put something else in its place. It could be temporary. We will see if we like it. It’s a long fence. We had to buy three big rolls of wire netting: that is thirty metres. There were lots of weeds to pull up and a pile of rotten wood to get rid of. The birds are happy. They can find lots of earthworms.

The weekend or the end of the week: for most people it’s not a work day. In the middle of the week the beach and the carpark were empty. Today there were more people on the beach and the carpark was almost full. Everyone was walking. The weather wasn’t hot enough for sitting (the sky was grey). The sea was rough, therefore I didn’t see anyone surfing. The roads are still wet because the water is high under the …
