Sonee, mo graidhe --

I'm going to cheat and use Beurla -- here is the link of a modern dictionary you can use on line for free. It is the one that The Scotsman has linked to the paper for readers of their gaelic articles.

Beannachd leat!

Tha mi air ais biggrin.gif biggrin.gif.

I am back!

Bha i seimh gu leor ann an Sassain ach tha mi toilichte a bhith air ais wink.gif.

It was relaxing enough in England but I am happy to be back.

Chan eil gaidhlig ann idir - there is no gaidhlig there at all sad.gif

Bha an t-side math agus na daoine coibhneil - the weather was good and the people friendly.

Dh' ith mi cus, hehe - I ate to much wink.gif

Stad sin aig caraid Bruis ann an Hull airson oidhche luain. - We stopped at a friends' of Bruce in Hull for Monday night.

Bha ceol is ol ann wink.gif (choimhead sinn aig bhideo Runrig .... wink.gif ) - there was music and drinking ...

Agus be draibh uabhasach snog a bh' ann tro Gleann Comhainn - and it was a very nice drive through Glen Coe.

Stad sinn airson dealbhan a thogail - we stopped to take pictures.

Cha robh uisge ann agus cha robh moran cuileagan ann - there was no rain there and there were not many midges ... unsure.gif

Ach bha sibhse samhaich .... - But YOU were quiet ....

Chan urrain dhomh sibh a leigeil nur aonar - I cannot leave you alone .. tsk ... unsure.gif tongue.gif

Seadh. . . sad.gif gabh mo leisgul, ach bha mi glé trang ag obair an t-seachdainn mu dheireadh,
Yeah. . . sad.gif I'm sorry, but I was real busy working last week

ach tha e glé mhàth a' cluintinn timchaell air do cuàirt,
but it's great to hear about your trip

gu sònraichte an timcheall air a'bhìdh, an ceòl agus an t-side math.
especially about the food, the music and the good weather.

(Agus an timcheall air "cha robh moran cuileagan". Tha iad uamhasach.)
And about the "not too many flies". They're awful. disgust.gif

Bha mi gu math leisg - bha mi a' leughadh, a' sgriobhadh aig bordean brath is a a' seoladh tron eadar-lionn wink.gif - I was quite lazy - I was reading, writing on message-boards and sailing through the internet smile.gif.

Bha sin snog. - This was nice.

Ach feumaidh mi obair a-maireach ... sad.gif - But I have to work tomorrow ...

Chi mi a-rithist sibh - I will see you again smile.gif.
