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

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.

Chan eil na dealbhan idir a' sealltainn cho cumhachdach, breagha   agus fuar 's a bha an aimsir ann an Lios Mòr an-diugh.  Ged a bha e fuar, cha robh mi a' gearain idir a bhith a' coiseachd suas à Port a' Chaisteil an-deidh dhomh a bhith ag obair - bha e  m ìorbhailteach agus bha mi cho sùnndach a bhith a-mach air latha mar seo.   The pictures don't do justice to the power, beauty and coldness of the weather in Lismore today.  Although it was cold, I wasn't complaining at all at walking up the hill from Port Castle after work - it was wonderful and exhilarating to be outside on a day like this.

Abair gun robh sinne trang feasgar an-diugh - bha obair-dachaigh aig na balaich!  Leughadh, sgrìobhadh, cunntadh...is a' tarraing à Mamaidh, gus am biodh i a' dol cràite!  Saoil an robh leannabh ann a-riamh nach robh a' cur a ph àrantan  às an rian le a bhith a' leughadh rudeigin    mar seo:  "h-a-d, h-a-d, h-a-d... tha sin ag  ràdh...  Kipper!" Is an uair sin, dìreach nuair a tha na p àrantan bochd a' toiseachadh air r ànail, tha an creutair beag m ì-mhodhail a' leughadh an leabhair bhon toiseach dhan deireadh, uile gu lèir gun mhearachd sam bith!  C àit' a bheil am f ìon?! Weren't we busy this afternoon - the boys had homework!  Reading, writing, counting...and teasing Mummy till she goes mad!  I wonder if there was ever a child who didn't drive its parents senseless by reading something like this:  " h-a-d, h-a-d, h-a-d... that says...  Kipper!" And then, just when the poor parents are starting to cry, the cheeky wee c

Airson an fhirinn innse, thachair seo an-dè ach, leis an aimsir a bh' againn an-diugh, cha do thachair dad sam bith a bha inntinneach, 's mar sin, tha sgeulachd na leapa ann a-rithist! To be honest, all this happened yesterday, but with the weather we had today, nothing at all interesting happened, so it's the story of the bed again!   Bha tòrr obrach aig Dadaidh, ach bha dithis ann a bha daonnan ga "chuideachadh" - b' esan a bha toilichte!   Daddy had a lot of work to do, but he had a couple of willing "helpers" - he was so pleased!    An-dèidh beagan ùine, bha barrachd adhartas ri fhaicinn... After a little while, there was some more progress to be seen... Mu dheireadh thall, cha mhòr nach robh i deas...is bha an luchd-obrach gu math, math toilichte! At long last, it was almost ready...and the workers were pretty pleased! 'S e leabaidh "Wayfair" a tha seo, agus tha si
