What a grumpy old woman I am! The day today wasn't so bad. I spent the morning preparing a large pan of soup with my favourite vegetables and red lentils. I washed some clothes, a table cloth and a linen towel, but there wasn't enough sun to dry them on the clothes line in the garden. Instead, I was throwing a ball for the dog.

There are many rugby matches (northern hemisphere against southern hemisphere) and many football matches (the World Cup). There was rowing at Henley and there is tennis at Wimbledon. I did not watch anything, I am not watching anything and I will not watch anything! I don't like many sports. I can't do it myself. I'm clumsy in a boat. I can't hit or kick a ball.

There are only thirty days in it, like April, September and November. Only February is a shorter month, even in a leap year. The other months are one day longer. In English, there is a rhyme to help children remember. We need something like that for Cornish. Who will write it? Certainly, June was the hottest month this year. Is it a record? Cornwall is a bit cooler than London! And, this morning, it is raining.
