Etho, na ellama mos mes e'n tòbmder-ma. Na wra vy cowsel gen nagonan e'n strêt. Martesen my alja gelwel nebonan dhe'n chei vy; nebonan gen car dhodho. "A venjes ta cawas bolla'de? Badna corev yeyn, martesen? Elles ta còrtos rag kidnyow? Ma pesk ha scòbmow dhebm (e'n stiver). Po martesen nebes salat a via gwell. Ma tomatys ha lattys e'n yeyner."

So, I can't go out in this heat. I won't chat with anyone in the street. Perhaps I could invite somebody to my house; somebody with a car. "Would you like to have a cup of tea? A drop of cold beer, perhaps? Can you stay for dinner? I have fish and chips (in the freezer). Or perhaps some salad would be better. There are tomatos and lettuce in the fridge."

It is still Speak Cornish Week, but I haven't spoken any Cornish today. What a pity! The weather is too hot for me and I didn't go out. I stayed in the house, indoors. Our house is cool enough. A butcher built the house as a store for his meat. The stone walls are thick and shaded. They are wonderful for tropical weather - for this heat wave. I won't be a piece of roast meat and I won't melt like butter.

Gwrewgh leverel "Durdadhawhei" dhe'th gweder mires (mirour) po dha jynn-amontya (compûter).

Here we are in Speak Cornish Week! Did you speak Cornish this morning, or afternoon, or evening? There will be another chance tomorrow - and the day after tomorrow. You can say "Hello (joy to you)" to your family and friends. You won't see anyone tomorrow? Never mind! Say "May God give you a good day" to your mirror or your computer.

Happy Midsummer. It's the solstice. The day today is the longest and the night the shortest. In Penzance there is a Golowan (Midsummer or the feast of St John) to mark the middle of summer. There is a loy of music and dancing for several days. There are people disguised too. And there is a ceremony in the middle of summer for the Cornwall Gorseth with the Awen banner.

The last day has arrived of the sign of the Zodiac "Gemini, The Twins". Tomorrow will be the first day of the next sign "The Crab" or "Cancer". I like drawing. In the past I planned twelve designs for a zodiac calendar. The spellings are not all used now (they're not SWF). In the legend, the "twins" were boys - brothers, but I drew "girl twins" - sisters!

It is early summer and there is white clover in our lawn. The wild bees love it. I haven't found a four-leaved clover yet, but there are some very small toadstools among the flowers. They are no use to a bee. There are little red apples fallen to the ground under a young tree. The apples left in the tree will be bigger and better in the autumn. But this is not my best apple tree.

I'm tired. A Cornish class in the morning, hospital with my husband in the afternoon, a Cornish Yeth an Werin (language of the people) in the evening, followed by a reading of "The Railway Children".
