Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
Obh! Obh! Tha tuilltean ann a-nis. Ged nach eil e ach caran fliuch an seo ann an Wollongong, the e fior dhuillich ann an Queensland. Thuit 540mm de dh'uisge an-dè ann am Bunderberg ann an Queensland. Oh no! Floods now. Although it's only a bit wet here in Wollongong, it's very bad in Queensland. 540...

Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
Oich! Bha 45°C againn an-dè :grian: . Cha robh sin cho comhfhurtal idir. Thàinig gaoth deasach san fheasgar ("the Southerly Buster" mar a chuireas sinn oirre) agus bha an t-sìde fada nas fhionnaire an deidh sin. Tha dùil againn gum bhidh 25° ann an-diugh agus bidh mi a' dol do na beanntan....

Mòran taing a Luchag, Ged a tha teinten mòra air feadh na dùthcha agus taighean air am milleadh, chan eil duine idir air am beatha a chall. Chan eil iad faisg orm ach chan eil feadhainn dhiubh ach ceud cilometer air mo dheas. Thanks Poor Mouse, Although there are major fires all over the country and...

Seo ceangal airson Eachdraidh a' Phrionnsa air archive.org
Here's a link to this text. http://archive.org/details/eachdraidhaphrio00mack
It's always worth looking at this site for old texts. I downloaded an original 1767 Gaelic Bible from here.
Very interesting to see the language at that time.

Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
Tha an t-sìde ro fhurasda dhuinn ann a seo, a luchag :D . Nuair a bhios am fuachd ann, tha e rudeigin mar 15°C. Nuair a bhios teasach mar 5°C ann, uill bidh sinn a' bàsachadh sna sràidean. The weather is too easy on us here :D . When it is cool it's something like 12°C. When it's 5°, we'll be dying ...

Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
Bha tòrr uisge 's fuachd ann an Latha na Nollaige am bliadhna ann an Sydney. Chan eil seo mi-aithnichte ach chan eil e àbhaisteach idir. 'S àbhaist dhuinn a bhi 38°C neo rud mar sin. There was a lot of rain and it was cool on Christmas Day this year in Sydney. It's not unknown but is unusual. We usu...

Re: A' clubadh clòimh le clibean
Perhaps the following
1) perhaps Seumas Alasdair was a storyteller and "there wasn't a week when the people weren't away with him to (a' falbh ris gu) the other corners of the world
2) a' dol timcheall gun sgur - rotating (revolving) ceaselessly

A native speaking friend of mine from Benbecula also uses clup or clep (perhaps humorously) for a haircut.

Re: Dè tha thu a' dèanamh? / What are you doing?
Tha cuimhne agam air nuair a bha mi cho òg. I remember when I was so young.
Co latha breith sona dhut a luchag. Happy birthday, poor mouse.
