The day today was full. First, I gave food and water to the animals – two rabbits, two guinea pigs and two cats. The rabbits and guinea pigs like carrots. The cats prefer fish. Then I had a Cornish class. I like talking with my students. I should like to go to the café in Truro for our class. Will Covid ever go away? Go away, you horrible coronavirus! After that I walked around the garden. There is work to do, but I took photos instead! I found green shoots, protected by dead flowers. I discovered white strawberry flowers and yellow primroses, hiding among leaves. The camellia flowers are not hidden. Their petals are pink and their hearts golden. In the evening I listened to a lecture about the history of our language and joined a conversation group. I could not hear very well, sadly
