A beautiful sunrise began a new day. I
love my family with all my heart but, sometimes, I am happy to say
"farewell". They are gone now, for the time being, to the city of the
Vikings. Now I can prepare my Cornish lessons for next week, and I want to
write Chapter 13 of my new book. I can enjoy the scent of winter flowers
without anxiety. The little boy is not here to pick them!

There's a proverb in ancient Greek
tragedy. Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad (deprive them
of sanity). Will I lose my right mind soon? What is next? The first boy was
sick again half an hour before midnight, and the second boy was sick twelve
hours later. Lots of washing. The washing machine worked non-stop for many hours.

There is no limit to bad luck, so it seems.
Am I pessimistic? Mishaps come in threes, but I have had more than three disasters
already. What is the problem today? Our daughter is ill and she can't collect
her children. I must entertain them. We played hangman many times, and chess
and cards. What do sick children like to eat? Perhaps a few grapes. But that
was not a very good idea. Eleven o'clock, the little boy was sick again. That
means more bedclothes and clothes for the washing machine tomorrow.

Are there more things that can go wrong?
We need a plumber again. We have two showers, and they malfunctioned on the
same night. One leaked in a wrong place, and the other stopped running
completely. Is there a hole in a small pipe or is a pipe somehow disconnected?
Did a fuse blow? Our granddaughter caught a train early in the morning to go to
university, but after lunch here she is again. Her little boy was sick twice
(or more) and they had to get off and come back.

Our visitors will go home tomorrow. Therefore,
there's a lot of work to do. They are not desirous of going with a suitcase
full of dirty clothes. The little boy was sick in the night. So, the washing
machine is busy, and the tumble dryer. I didn't sleep well in the night, and
now I have to wake up early. You don't want to see any photos! I am not a
pretty sight! Perhaps, tomorrow my life will get back a bit of normality.

After Christmas, children have a choice of
toys and activities. Some of them are quiet (drawing) and some are noisy (drums). Some go well
and some others are unsuccessful. A wind blew a flying toy into the branches
of a tree. Sometimes, the children are happy without toys, going to a beach and
running away from the advancing waves, digging holes or looking for interesting
pebbles and shells.
