Fire training and high school training

A normal day at work for me, but for Colin it was a day spent playing, I mean working, with the fire truck. Despite being deputy crew commander and a former HGV driver, he hadn't ever been put through his training to be a qualified driver of the fire truck.  Today was his first day of intensive training to put that right...round two tomorrow followed by an assessment.  So far so good, though.  
Ealasaid was delighted to discover that the Rector of Oban High School, along with some of the Guidance staff, was giving a talk in Appin school tonight, aimed at P7s who'll be heading up to the High School after the summer.  Not only did she have to sit and listen and even answer some questions, but she had to miss her beloved drama for it.  At least she enjoyed the shortbread!  
A final bit of training for today was mummy sheep teaching her new lambs how to stand in the middle of the road and make any passing cars slow down to as near to stopped as they can possibly achieve without becoming lamb chops...can't start that lesson too early!!

Tha mi air ais!/ I'm back!

Image
Mhothaich mi an-diugh nach d' fhuair mi cothrom sgrìobhadh an seo airson ùine gu math fada.  Mar sin, nì mi geàrr chunntas air choireigin dhe na thachair sna seachdainean a dh'fhalbh. An toiseach, bha coinneamh ann dhen chomann dhealbhach a th' againn ann an Lios Mòr.  Abair latha a bh' ann, le seallaidhean nach gabhadh creidsinn.  Bha sinn ann am Parc, àite ann an Lios Mòr far nach robh mi riamh ron a seo.  Leis na speuran cho gorm is cho soilleir agus leis an t-sneachd cho geal air na beanntan mu cuairt oirnn, cha b' urrainn na b' fheàrr.     I noticed today that I hadn't had a chance to write here for a while.  So, I'll do a kind of summary of what's been happening over the last few weeks.   First of all, we had a meeting of Lismore's photography club.  What a day it was, with unbelievable views.  We were in Park, part of the island I'd never previously visited.  With the clear, blue skies and the snow so

30 Bliadhna/ 30 years

Tha e doirbh a chreidsinn gu bheil 30 bliadhna air a dhol seachad an-dèidh bàs mo sheanmhar. Bidh sinn uile ga h-ionndrainn gu bràth. Cuimhneachain prìseil ged-tà. It’s hard to believe that 30 years have passed since my Gran’s death.  We’ll always miss her. Precious memories though.
