Friday, 30th October

Sqwithys o vy. Gellys ew an hav. An enawel ew gorfednys. Cosel ew an gewer. Thew termyn blewek  a'n vledhen. An Kehesnos a veu passyes genen. Martesen, avorow a vedh moy dhe les. Ma nos avorow ow tallath "Allantide". Ma othom dhebm a Avalow Allantide, rüdh ha brâs, rag an flehes wydn. Nos Calan Gwav henwys ew gen radn a'n bobel. Trenja a vedh Degol a'n Ollsens po Du Halan Gwav. Ma hanter tewal a'n vledhen ow tallath. My a dal gwil lugarn turnypen po lugarn pompyon! 

I am bored. The summer has gone. The storm has finished. The weather is quiet. It is a boring time of year. We have passed the Equinox. Perhaps, tomorrow will be more interesting. Tomorrow night begins "Allantide". I need some big red Allantide Apples for the grandchildren. It's called Halloween by some people. The day after tomorrow will be All Saints Day or the First Day of Winter. The dark half of the year begins. I should make a turnip lantern or a pumpkin lantern!
