It rains today: early morning twilight, morning, forenoon, midday, afternoon, evening and evening twilight! The rain wasn’t heavy, but it wouldn’t pause either. The sky was grey, grey and miserable. I was happy in the late morning, because that was my Cornish class with my friends. But what to do after lunch? I like writing, but I need ideas. Can books give me many ideas? There are books written about ideas! Perhaps I ought to read. I have books written in all sorts of languages and in translation. I could learn something new – how to grow different plants – plants to purify the air in the house. Spider plants are very popular. My uncle liked writing as well – he wrote for a newspaper in his village. The subject of this article was the family dog.
