Latha breagha is trang/ A beautiful and busy day

B' e latha gu math, math breagha a bh' ann an-diugh, ach cho fuar ris a' phuinnsein!  Chaidh Cailean a-mach trath sa mhadainn gus gainnmheach a chur air na rathaidean, gus am biodh iad sàbhailte dha na càraichean.  Abair ceuman a tha e a' faotainn air am Fitbit aige le gnothaichean mar sin - feumaidh mise rudeigin a dhèanamh a dh'aithghearr, gus nach bi e daonnan a' dèanamh a' chùis orm!  

Bha seallaidhean air leth ri fhaicinn air an rathad sìos gu Port a' Chaisteal.  B' e "an t-eilean àlainn" a bh' ann an Lios Mòr an-diugh dha-rìribh.

Feasgar, chaidh mi gu coinneamh Ùghdarras Coimhearsnachd Lios Mòr - tha sinn uile an dòchas gum bi rudan ùra is inntinneach a' tachairt san eilean san àm ri teachd.

Moments That Mattered

Image
It was a beautiful November day in 2013 when I sat waiting for my “Moment that Mattered”.   I knew it was coming, but I just didn’t know what kind of moment it was going to be.   Glorious sunshine streamed through the windows, horses and sheep, along with the odd chicken, wandered by outside, revelling in the unexpected winter warmth.   I, however, while I was aware of all of it, wasn’t really seeing any of it.   All I could see was this unexploded bomb sitting right in the middle of my family.   And that November day was the day I was going to find out if the bomb was about to destroy us or if it could somehow be disarmed.     For months now, my Dad had been losing weight with a frightening rapidity.   Everyone he met would comment on how slim and svelte he was looking…and every comment was like a knife going through us, because we all knew he was eating just as much as ever.   It’s easy to imagine the one thing that was on eve...

February Cèilidh

Image
Last night saw the first of Comunn Gàidhealach an Òbain's winter cèilidhs.   It was this year's Buffet Ceilidh, usually held in January, but postponed this year due to clashes with other events.   After much food preparation, setting up of tables and so on, people started to congregate at Oban's Masonic Hall for 7.30pm.   Colin and I sold tickets at the door, so we had a great chance to see everyone – good to catch up with lots of friends, many of whom we hadn't seen for a while.   We were, of course, ably 'assisted' by Ealasaid, Alasdair and Ruairidh…at various points throughout the night, we offered all three of them as raffle prizes, but strangely, no one seemed to think we were serious!   There was a good sized crowd, who all enjoyed a buffet meal, followed by a ceilidh.   The crowd was wonderfully entertained by Alastair MacDonald on accordion, Aaron Hossein on pipes and singers Robert Robertson, Freddie MacKenzie and Riona MacCormick.   Everyon...
