I must be organised and buy a new one. I don't like taking photos with a phone (I'm not very skilled). There's a wonderful full moon tonight, sadly. Fortunately, my daughter has sent me some photos of her jaunt to the wildlife sanctuary yesterday. The children were wide-eyed with wonder in the Jungle Barn. And they slipped and laughed on the rainbow slide. And what bliss, playing with...

My daughter took all the little children to Hayle. There is a wildlife park and play centre there. They have a season ticket because they love it so much. "I saw Pingu," said the little boy. He saw a penguin. The children like the big slide. It was a quiet afternoon for me.

One door closed, and at the same time another door opened. The granddaughter has gone but other children and dogs have come. The dogs are very sweet, but full of mischief. Perhaps they won't stay long! How many things can go wrong? I need antibiotics for my arm, but the pharmacy is closed. The granddaughter dropped her...

Someone is going to university. There's a lot of equipment to be packaged up and carried to the new place. How much bedding does someone need, how many clothes? Is it necessary to take everything but the kitchen sink? How many playthings will go into the car with all the other things? Is there space for an elephant in a basket? She can make toast, but has she got a kettle? What has she forgotten? Deg ger rag hedhyw  Ten words for today bara scrawys  toast ...

What a sweet pussycat this is! But she is not an amiable kitten. She's a grumpy old cat. There is menace in her eye. Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. You are misled by that pretty face. Mind out! Do not touch her if she doesn't want it. I was mistaken. I tried to lift her up. Misadventure! She...

My a wra bryjyon an tekel ha gwil badna te. One more manic day! I need to pause and relax. Perhaps I ought to learn yoga. That is good for relieving the body of stresses, it seems. What is the correct start? Can I stand on one foot without falling? I could try the tree posture. Could I balance on my neck? I couldn't. I won't try to be a plough. Can I sit with crossed legs - one leg placed over the other? C...
