November is a short month. It has thirty days. But it isn't the shortest - that is February. That only has twenty-eight days (except in a leap year). Today, the last day of this month, is special for Scotland. Happy St Andrew's Day to everyone. Andrew is Scotland's patron saint.

Bes martesen my alja scrifa daralla gen an verb "bos" en pub lavar. My a venja saya. An daralla a vedh pur sempel! Otta an kensa radn. En kensa thera nei ow metya gen an teylû.  What is possible?

Here's the first part. First we meet the family. BOS locative  is colour coded red  (including participle and secondary verbs).  BOS descriptive  is colour coded green.

The world is full of signs, more signs than usual. I can see two signs at the same time – a road sign and an estate agent’s signboard. It’s true – a ruin is for sale – but is it buyable? Two miles from here there are more notices by the church. It’s a sad thing – there are no services in November. And there are more notices on the parish board. The Countryside Code: Respect other people; Protect the natural environment; Enjoy the outdoors. Deg ger rag hedhyw:  Ten words for t...
