I wouldn't like to be suffering from flu in the winter. It is that time again for vaccinations at the health centre by the lovely beach. The injection is very quick. There is enough time to eat an ice cream and look at the sea.  Gerva brehlinansow vaccinations < bregh arm + lin liquid, fluid chei yehes (m) health centre Pandr'ew a droos? literally What is afoot? pigans (m) injection < vb. piga tòchys gen an flou suffering from flu

I need a better camera! St Piran's church is also gilded. High in the sky, above the church, there is a silver moon. There is no golden glow in the north, and neither is the sea gilded. The colour is weak in the early morning. There is stronger colour in the afternoon.

Gwywer rüdh ew rag an res rüdh. Today I went to Truro Art Group's first meeting of the new year  in a place called Playing Place (there is no name in Cornish for this place). I had to get up very early and take three buses. It needed three buses for going home as well. In Redruth I saw a giant black and white artwork on a wall near the market. It's a red squirrel for the red ford.

Which dog is it? It's a young bitch. What is she doing? She has found something. She is playing and digging among the ferns. She won't come to the house. There is no sound but crows in the trees. Suddenly, we hear another dog barking. It is our neighbours' dog. Now our dog is running quickly downhill to the lower fence. Too late. The dog has already gone into the wood. There is only a butterfly on a wal...

We had rain - and still we have rain! Nature is recovering after the hot dry summer. It is like spring rather than autumn. I have a primrose and a hairy caterpillar! Is there enough time for the caterpillar's further development before the frost comes? Will there be a butterfly in the true spring.

There's a very good dairy in Perran. They make the best ice cream. We could park by the door. They have a lot of good flavours; there's not a bad taste among them. What flavour do you like? My husband likes strawberry, in a cone. Children have to have ice cream in a small tub - that is less messy! I am happy with a rum and raisin ice cream cone. It's very tasty.
