This nae swearing on the blogs tends tae mak for some creative wording I`ll tell ye!
There was yours truly, beginning tae work a coohide and four sheepskins when I cam` doon wi` a virus that has left me dizzy, weak and slightly nauseous. :-(
So, confined tae the sofa wi` the tv for company (they should mak a special channel just for invalids wi` actual decent programmes on it) here I am again. Had tae get the other half tae oversalt the hides and skins tae keep them in storage until I am up on me feet again, which hopefully will no be too long, for I hate being ill.
The wee black cat that has adopted us has is right now ootside in the garden, half hiding in the dog roses and `stalking` oor hens and ducks, wha`, being used tae oor ain cats, just ignore him. Whether the cat feels slighted at that snub, I`ve nae idea, but he`s doing a grand job o` imitating a prowling tiger.
I would just like tae say, tae any weather gods there might be listening, what is the idea you guys? Warmth and sunshine one week, then hail, gales and rain the next? Can ye no` mak` your mind up please? For, how am I supposed tae flesh a hide ootdoors when I need tae wear a hardhat tae protect me head frae hailstones the size o` marbles coming doon at warp speed?
That`s no fair, it just isnae.....nae doubt it`ll snow next week...or maybe gie us a drought, ye never can tell....

When I`m no` sae dizzy and sickly, I hae some photos tae post, o` me spinning wheel and me cats and dog and oor sheep the size o` your average dining table...he gies me the wool I need tae spin, which I should be getting on with, so I hae enough wool for the warp weighted loom demo in August.

Tae answer mjc re the moonbeams, ye can see them any time o` year, usually though there has tae be at least some light tae see them, bright stars or the moon. They`re a right bonny sight and well worth looking oot for.
And tae answer Dag, I tan sheepskins and cowhides and mak` them intae rugs and things for a living. I also hae an interest in reenactment, specifically the Viking age and including Viking settlement in Orkney and Scotland. :-) In August I`ll be giving a demonstration o` the Viking warp weighted loom for the Sanday show, which is why I need tae spin a pile o` wool aforehand. Sometimes I feel like the lassie oot o` Rumpelstiltskin...or have I got that wrong? The one wha` was locked in a tower until she spun a pile o` gold? No`, mind you, that it would be a bad thing, tae be able tae spin gold....
Oh dear...waffling again...it must be the delerium...:-D

Last night I watched the sea come in doon the bottom o` the track. The wind had whipped up a hoolie, so the waves were fairly racing tae shore. And the water was that cold, chilly looking green foam that promises a scant two minutes o` life left if you`re in it...and I got tae thinking on all the stories o` selkie folks and kelpies and merfolks who used tae populate the waters aroond oor isles. These stories are just curiosities now, which is a shame, I think. How many bairns now, ken the auld tales and go to the shore tae look for the bright eyes o` the selkie folks peering above the water.
Changed times....
