How daft I am! On Sunday I fell on the floor (a very hard floor) and broke some bones. The amulance came quickly. My thumb is broken (I fell on it). I must wear a support for it for a month. The internet is not very good in hospital. I'd like to write more but I can't. And I can't use my photos.

I met with some friends, all writers. We ate too much and drank too much wine. We chatted about writing and stories - and read to one another. We laughed. Now I'm tired! I forgot to take photos.

Last night I opened the door for the dog and saw a light in the night sky. It was behind the trees. The light grew and rose – behold a full moon! Very beautiful. But it is not completely full - not yet.

This week it is Speak Cornish Week. The word "speak" is important. We would like everyone to talk our language - the spelling doesn't matter. We would like to hear the language. Reading is OK, but listening is better. The Cornish language is important for Cornwall itself, and for those with Cornish roots - but we are happy for people in many countries to talk Cornish as well. Watch this video - there's a young man in New Zealand saying "Hello (Good day)" - one of our "Five a Day".

I love white flowers. In April, May and June we see blackthorn, white thorn, elder blossom, wild roses, in hedges, on a hillside, near the bus shelter and beside the roads. They are bold together, but a single flower is dainty. The smell is sweet but faint.

Yesterday was the first day of Speak Cornish Week. The theme this year is “Five a Day”. That is not fruit and vegetables, but things to say in Cornish. Today, the second day of the week, I listened to Davyth Fear talking about all sorts of birds. He's a wonderful photographer – and he speaks good Cornish. Here are his swans, entitled “Family”.
