I went out! Unfortunately, that was not a joy. The weather was wet, very wet. I went to Truro, to the dentist. I have a dead tooth. It died and now it must be taken out. I went to Redruth too. There was water running down the street. I bought a new umbrella. I was happy to come home. Is there a lovely photo in a wet street? No! So, let's look at a new lesson.
