Hai a Shiu\saidh agus a h-uile duine,
An toiseach, tha mi 'n do\chas gu bheil a h-uile duine gu math; cha chuala mi guth
bho dhuine sam bith o chionn fha\da. Chan urrainn dhomh facal ag ra\dh; cha do
sgri\obh mise o chionn fha\da na's motha....... : (
First, I hope everybody on the list is well; I haven't heard a word from anyone for a
long time. I can't say a word; I haven't written for a long time either.......

Chunaic mi an leabhar sin, ach cha do leugh mi riamh e. Chula mi gu robh e math. Bha
leabhar eile agam, "Everyday Gaelic" le Mo\rag Nic Illeathain, agus bha e so\nraichte
math 'nam bheachd.
I saw that book, but I never read it. I heard it was good. I had another book, "..."
by Morag MacLean, and it was exceptionally good, I thought.

Bheirinn geall gu robh iad toilichte 'gad fhaicinn!I bet they were happy to see you!

Tha sinn gu math fortanach an seo. Tha na laithean bla\th gu leo\ir gun a bhith teth,
agus na h-oidhchean fionnar airson cadal. Tha an t-si\de a' co\rdadh rium glan.
We're quite fortunate here. The days are warm without being hot, and the nights are
cool for sleeping. The weather agrees with me completely.

Tho\iseach mi air teagaisg leth-thi\de Di-Luain seo chaidh. Bithidh mi a' teagaisg
la\n-thi\de feadh an Lunasdail. Bithidh mi ag obair leis an luchd-obraiche 'nuair
nach bi mi a' teagaisg, agus is toigh leam an suidheachadh sin math gu leo\ir.
I started teaching half-time last Monday. I'll be teaching full time throughout
August. I'll be working with the labourers ( maintenance crew -- haven't got a
Gaelic phrase/word for that! ) when I'm not teaching, and I like that situation well
enough.
Bithidh thu-fhe/in air saor-laithean a nis, nach bi? Shaoilinn gum biodh feum agad
orra. Tha aimsir na sgoile fa\da gu leo\ir! De/ na h-i\rean a tha thu a' teagaisg
ann an sgoil?
You're on holidays now, aren't you? I would think you could use them. The school term
is long enough! What grades do you teach in school?

Tha mi gle/ thoilichte sin a leughadh. Bu dhoirbh an rathad a bh' agad, agus tha mi
am fi\or dho\chas gum bi esan a' fa\s na's fhasa agus thusa na's fhea\rr amoch a seo.
I'm very happy to read that. You've had a hard road, and I truly hope it will be
getting easier, and you better, from now on.
So\raidh leibh 'is beannachd leibh,
Aonghas
