The day is Thursday. It’s not the last day of the week and it’s not the last day of a month. It’s the first day of a new month, the first day of March. It's an important day for Wales. It's St David's Day. St David is the patron saint of Wales. Yesterday was the last day of February. February is a short month, the shortest month of the year. It has only twenty-eight days (except in a leap year).

The snow has come on the north coast, at last. There are many kinds of snow. In the morning we only had a light shower of fine powder snow, in the afternoon there was a heavy fall of large snowflakes. Last night the sky was clear and I could see a large moon and stars. Now the sky is white and cloudy. It won’t be possible to see the moon tonight. Alas, there will be a full moon tomorrow.
