Ma lies laverans e'n gwary ew ajwonys dhen. "Ogh trû, Yorick trûan." I do not like getting old, but I do like a good celebration. It's my birthday and I'm celebrating! Yesterday I went to the theatre with my son. We watched "Hamlet" by Shakespeare. The play is wonderfully good and the production is wonderfully good. Simple and effective. The evening was very enjoyable. There are many sayings in the play that are familiar to us. "Alas, poor Yorick."

Nag ens ûsyes na velha rag gwil baskettys puskes. Pur glan ew an ayr. Ma kewny war lies gwedhen en keow ewedh. Da ew genam an liw - glas. The road going to the sea is wild. Is this a wilderness? No. It's Bolingey Wood, near the Saint's Trail. You cannot walk in it, because the ground is marshy and full of pools. The old osiers are covered in moss and lichen. They are not used any longer for making fish baskets. The air is very clean. There is lichen on many trees in hedges, too. I like the colour - blue/grey/green.

  2026 Dedh Pemdhek ha Dogens De Meurth, pajwora warn ügens Mis Whevrel Tuesday, 24th February Hedhyw, my a gerdhas dhe'n vedhegva e'n drev. Res veu clojiores kemeres nebes samplys gooj.

Fatel ellama omglowas mar yagh bes mar skith e'n kettermyn?   Today, I walked to the doctors' clinic in the village. A nurse had to take some blood samples. After that there was enough time for another healthy walk on the beach. The beach is not very busy in February. There are more birds than people. It's low tide, therefore the beach is very big. There is sand but there are no sandcastles in winter. It is windy and the sea is...

They are finished now. Those mountains will no longer be seen by us on our screens. There was a colourful Closing Ceremony. Did you see it? The Olympic Flame was extinguished. Do you have a much-loved sport? Do you do a winter sport, skating perhaps? Nowadays there are new sports. A lot of time is spent in the air (upside-down and back-to-front)!

There is a sweet smell in my sitting-room. After the big storm I cut some twigs from the little fallen tree and put them in a container of water. Now there are sweet white flowers. There are flowers on the remainder of the tree on the ground, little branches among bamboo, too. The sun is shining and birds are singing. There's a robin in the top of the pear tree.  It's a lovely day.
