A Year of Late Cornish

  2026 Dedh Cans Dogens ha Naw De Gwener, nawes warn ügens mis Me Friday, 29th May Gordhûher ew solabres ha na worama pele eth an jedh. My a wrüg fyttya nebes boos, tra veth marthys; golhy nebes dilhas, tra veth dres ehen; redya nebes levrow ha paperow, tra veth re hir; gwary gen agan keun, tra veth posigys e'n tòbmder-ma. Nag ew da genam gweythresow chei! Nag eus pictours wheg veth. Ma drog troos dhe gour vy. Na ell ev gwil tra veth. Res ew dhodho bos sedhys gen y droos ûhel. Ma eskis specyal dhodho. It's evening already and I don't know where the day went. I did some cooking, nothing wonderful; washed some clothes, nothing remarkable; read some books and papers, nothing too long; played with our dogs, nothing stressful in this heat. I don't like housework! There are no nice pictures. My husband has a bad foot. He can't do anything. He has to be seated with his foot high. He has a special shoe.

  2026 Dedh Cans Dogens hag Eth De Yow, ethves warn ügens mis Me Thursday, 28th May  'Whynas' nag ew ger plegadow, bes anjei ell bos flourys pur deg. Welcòm ew whynas et ow lowarth. Ma hasednow ow terlentry pecar'a tegednow. Tavol wherow, tavol trenk, manegow lowarn, gwelsednow kerna; mons ow cachya an howlplan ha kerna en awel glor. 'Losôw mogh' ew hanow hager, bes an flourys ew maga wydn ha deg avel kegis bûgh po Las Metêrnes Anna.  'Weeds' is not a pleasing word, but they can be very beautiful flowers. Weeds are welcome in my garden. Seeds are shining like jewels. Bitter dock, sheep sorrel, fox gloves, shaking grasses; they catch the sunshine and shiver in a breeze. 'Hog weed' is an ugly name, but the flowers are as white and pretty as cow-parsley or Queen Anne's Lace.

Lôwen o vy bos e'n lowarth en gordhûher, ow clowes ort an edhyn ow cana ha creia e'n gwedh owryek. Today,I had to go to the hospital with my husband, The weather was very hot. And now, I am very tired. I was happy to be in the garden in the evening, listening to the birds singing and calling in the golden trees.

Mars eus whans dhewgh a witha oll agas besyes treys dien, na wrewgh degy skijyow a'n par ma rag trehy glesin brâs ha serth gen tregher glesin brâs. Warning! If you want to keep all of your toes intact, do not wear shoes like this for cutting a big, steep lawn with a big lawn-mower.
