Na ellowgh gweles radn an stergelgh ma lebmyn. Res ew dhewgh gòrtos. An gwelha termyn dh'y weles nessa a vedh mis Me.    

Traditionally there are twelve signs of the Zodiac. There are three earth signs, three air signs, three fire signs and three water signs. These are the four classical"elements"; Earth, Air, Fire and Water. There are twelve months, but a sign does not start at the first day of a certain month. We are now in the sign Virgo, but that began on the twenty-third day of the month. You cannot see this part of the zodiac now. You have to wait. The best time to see it next will be May.

Dynyes ew hei gen fardeligow liwüs a scudigow tatty.

Children and teetotallers like drinking orange juice. But for other people wine is better. Do you prefer drinking red wine or white wine? Several small wasps wanted to sample a glass of wine. But it was empty. Why is this one so small? Is the heat making all the wasps small and thirsty this summer? Perhaps this wasp is hungry as well. She is attracted by colourful packets of crisps.

Eus keherow skith dhe nebonan? Lôwsel en kibel a dhowr tòbm ew bryntin. Riel dra! Terweythyow, flehes ell radna aga thybyansow en còsel, heb kenkya!

I'm happy to see other people being happy. And why are other people happy? Today is not the day to do work. There is no school and no college. Today is a day to buy pasties and drink wine (or juice)! Today we can make ourselves comfortable in the garden and chat, young and old together. Is someone tired? He could relax with closed eyes. Does someone have tired muscles? Loosening up in a tub of hot water is brilliant. Proper job! Sometimes, children are able to share their ideas quietly, without arguing!

Already, two months have passed after Midsummer's Day. Soon it will be Autumn. That will be a relief. Summer is too hot for me. Blue skies are boring. I was happy to see clouds in the sky this morning. Now I can breathe freely.

Sometimes a drain needs to be checked. Take care lifting the lid. There are spiders lurking! This one spun a silken nest for her eggs. She is guarding her precious orb fiercely.

I heard rain in the night. And, behold, several inches of water in the wheelbarrow! Would the birds like to take a bath? I can't seemany birds today, and I can't hear many of them either. Where are they? Are they in somebody else's garden. I can hear the wind in the trees, and the distant sea. At last! A wood pigeon has come home.
