Yours in the interest of good health, Dr. Eideard Eideird chòir, Perhaps the list is suffering from a lack of sunshine, short days, 22 consecutive days of rain, and a general torpor that seems to set in every year about this time, which I always blame on the weather. My prescription would be a traditional three-day Cape Breton party, of which only scattered and embarrassing fragments will be remembered. Unfortunately, I'm too old to survive them any more. Well, maybe not, but I'm too scared to try.. I think we'll get back on track before too long. Le meas, Aonghas The Nova Scotia Scottish Gaelic Learner's List - Archives -

Re: Fwd: Re: [gaidhlig-gu-leor] Post mortem
Eideird 's a h-uile duine, Bu choir dhomh paipearan cheartachadh, ach a dh'aindeoin sin, tha mi a' sgri\obhadh gu GGL. I should be grading papers, but in spite of that I am writing GGL. Cha robh dealan ann feasgar an de\. Mar sin tha mi cus a dheanamh. There was no electricity yesterday afternoon/evening. So I have too much to do. Tha an taigh agam salach cuideachd. My house is dirty also. Ach tha an t-aodach glan! But the clothes are clean! Nigh mi iad as traithe. I washed them earlier. Cuir ceart na mearachdan agam, ma's e ur toil e! Please correct my errors.

Feasgar math a Dhotair Eideird, Tha mi duilich cha do sgri\obh mi ach beagan o chionn ghoirid. Bithidh mi trang gu dearbh, ach leughidh mi daonnan na litreachean.

Re: [gaidhlig-gu-leor] Post mortem
Hallo Eideird, I meant to add the following, but hit the "send" too quickly...I've noticed that all of the Gaelic lists that I'm on right now are extremely quiet, and also that the study groups that I'm attending are down in attendance. Was the Celtic New Year celebrated too wildly and folks haven't recovered yet? Chan 'eil fhios-am?? Or...are people busily getting ready for the "holidays"??? Ma tha e comasach dhut, cum a' dol!
