Gabhaidh mo leisgeul, ach tha mi uabhasach leisg. Cha do sgrìobh mi o chionn fhada. Aig àm na Nollaige bha mi is mo bhean a' sgitheadh ann an Andorra. Bha an aimsir blàth is grianach (nach neònach sin?), agus bha an sneachda bog is mìn ann. Feumaidh mi àiteachadh gun robh mi glè cugallach. Co-dhiù, thill sinn dhachaidh slàn is fallain. A-nis bith mi ag obair a-rithist agus tha mi sgìth. Bu chòir dhomh am mullach a chàradh ach tha mi ro leisg.<br /><br />Uill, tha an t-àm agam falbh a-nis. Tìoraidh.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34895595-3532907456836284823?l=gaelicblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794620922017499849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34895595.post-70367473316441947182007-03-24T10:24:00.000-07:002007-03-24T10:53:45.297-07:00Tha mi a'gabhail fadachd ris na saor-làithean an ath sheachdain. Bidh mi is mo bhean a'tadhal air a'Ghaidhealtachd agus bidh mi a'coinneachadh chàirdean an sin. Bu toigh leam eòlas a chur air an Eilean Sgitheanach agus air Leòdhas. Cha robh mi an sin roimhe.<br />Tha mi glè thrang na làithean -s' agus chan eil mòran agam ri ràdh aig an àm seo. 'S dòcha gum bi tìde gu leòr agam a bhith a'sgrìobhadh anns a'Ghàidhlig an ath sheachdain.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34895595-7036747331644194718?l=gaelicblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794620922017499849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34895595.post-14165068513036653062007-03-06T13:29:00.000-08:002007-03-06T13:58:52.591-08:00Chunnaic mi program math air an telebhisean oidhche ardaoin mu Blog nam Tìr. Tha mi smaoineachadh gur e deagh idea airson luchd-ionnsachaidh, gu h-àraidh le Skype. Cha do dh'fheuch mi fhathast a chionn's nach eil mòran ùine agam. Co-dhiù chan eil mi math gu leòr air bruidhinn agus air tuigsinn fhathast.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34895595-1416506851303665306?l=gaelicblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794620922017499849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34895595.post-1162739227271597842006-11-05T06:59:00.000-08:002006-11-05T07:31:12.180-08:00Bha mi ag èisteachd ris "An litir do luchd-ionnsachaidh"le Ruairidh MacIlleathain air an "rèidio nan Gaidheal" an diugh, agus s'e an rud as fheàrr leam air an eadar-lìon. Tha na sgeulachdan uabhasach inntinneach agus tha a'Ghàidhlig sloadach gu leòr airson a h-uile rud a bhith a'tuigsinn.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34895595-116273922727159784?l=gaelicblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794620922017499849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34895595.post-1159008225055409042006-09-23T03:26:00.000-07:002006-09-23T11:12:26.183-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7819/3872/1600/jim%20gaelic%20choir.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7819/3872/320/jim%20gaelic%20choir.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Fàilte. Ciamar a tha sibh? 'S e tidsear fad-fhulangach a th'annam. Tha mi a'teagasg Frangis agus tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig. Tha mi a'fuireach ann an Glaschu ann an Alba.
