The Greeks and Romans had a god of wine (Dionysus or Bacchus). There are many images of that god. There is a wonderful wine grape variety called Bacchus blanc, with a nice flavour and aroma. Juice and wine are not the only products from grapes. The seeds can be pressed to give seed oil. That is wonderful for our skin. My son'...

Whath theram ow qwitha ort ow gour, etho na ellama mos mes gans an kei yonk. Bettegens, nag eus whans dhe'n kei coth a gerdhes telher veth. Martesen avorow a vedh gwell. One more day! There wasn't anything different. The weather was too hot again. I'm still looking after my husband, so I can't go out with the young dog. Anyway, the old dog doesn't want to walk anywhere. Perhaps tomorrow will be better.

  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.

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.

Ma gevellyon wheg et ow theylû (saw nag ens Roman ha nag ens kehaval). Thursday saw the start of a new Zodiac sign. This is "Gemini". It's the next constellation to Taurus. You have to look for two bright stars, Pollux and Castor. It's named for part of the  night sky representing two Roman boys. Your imagination must complete the picture. There are sweet twins in my family (but they are not Roman and they are not identical).

  2026 Dedh Cans Dogens ha Dew De Gwener, nessa warn ügens mis Me Friday, 22nd May Ewa termyn dhe bedery dro dhe'n hav? Ma hav ow tos. Whei a vedn mos dhe'n treth (dres lycklod). Is it time to think about the summer? Summer is coming. You will go to the beach (probably) You need to know the words for all the stuff we take to the beach (and take home again). Beach gear is daffar treth. When it comes to shopping for beach gear, we can say: We went to the beach shop and bought ... Nei eth dhe'n shoppa treth ha perna .. bucket pal astel-corfplaynya or bodybord gwelen-roos pel treth baner bian sarf neyja towel treth gwedrow lagajek gwedrow howl hott howl dehen howl If you want to say you have something you can use: Ma dhebm ... or Ma dhe vy … I have ...
