What's a good word for Cornwall today? For this footpath the word is "overgrown". The scent of the elder is very sweet. Fortunately, it's not muddy as well. But, after several days without rain, this stream is reduced to mud (or perhaps it is choked nearer to the headspring). There is a superabundance of vegetation on the road margins. It is sloping downwards and falling on the road.

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

Meanwhile here are some words I wrote in the past. Another time, perhaps, I could write more. I should have written in the daytime. It's not good for my health to write in the nighttime (but I always do it)! When I was young I had more time (so it seemed). Tomorrow I will have to set the time to start. I must not...
