Summer is a perfect time for going to the hairdresser. Long hair is too hot. Is the boy happy with his shorn locks? He didn't want to be in my photo. He wouldn't look at the camera. Is he shy? No! He's cheeky.

Geryow rag hedhyw. Words for today

knevys ~ knivys shorn < (verb) knivya
methek shy, bashful

Otta tabm descans moy. There are more than three hundred days in one year and every day is special! Someone always has a birthday, so the day is important to that person. Perhaps you have a "name day". Do you have a saint's name? There are other people to commemorate too. There are festivals and international days for thinking about things. Yesterday was World Water Day. All the world should get pure clean water for drinking and washing. Many people don't have enough water, sadly. ...

What next?  I am always losing things.  Now the lost thing is my voice.  Sadly.  I am croaking like a frog.  I cannot teach on Zoom this week, because I cannot speak. I said, " I am sorry," to my students. " See you next week, I hope."  But without a voice, how can I control a little three-year old savage? He will be tired out by walking and climbing in my garden. He is too young for this lesson. Building up our Cornish language Par...

There will be wind. There will be huge waves on the north cost, perhaps 30ft at midday. But the waves won't be good for surfing. (Thanks to CornwallLive for the photo of the Cribbar - the waves won't be clean like this one.) They will be dangerous. There is a warning, "Be prepared for floods near the sea." We are ready for the wind in our garden. Everything is secure. Now I can think of my next lesson. Cressya emann agas tavas Kernowek...
