Trathnóna deas!

Bhí trathnóna álainn againn sa Blessington Bookstore. Bhuail muid le cúpla duine nua- hurray! Bhí neart caint againn timpeall an bord agus caife iontach. Go raibh maith agat, Janet.

We had a lovely evening in the Blessington Bookstore. We were delighted to meet some new ciorcálees. There was plenty of aul'chat around the table and some excellent coffee, highly recommended! Thank you, Janet!

Anyway, our time has come again. If you want to hang out with us on Thursday 20th May from 7.30-9.00pm, you are more than welcome. Just bring your cúpla focal and a couple of euro to buy a tea or coffee.

Bí linn arís ar Deardaoin 20ú, Bealtaine ó 7.30-9.00. Beidh fáilte mór romhait. Ni gá ach do chúpla focal a thabhairt leat. (Agus cúpla euro do chupán tae nó caife, níl sé saor in aisce anois.)

Tá muid ag bogadh

Tá muid ag bogadh trasna an bóthar chomh fada leis An Blessington Book Store. Anocht beidh cupán álainn caife nó tae ar fáil do na ciorcálees. Bígí linn anocht ag 7.30 - 9.00 le haghaidh píosa craic agus cómhrá.

We're moving across the road as far as the Blessington Book Store. Janet is kind enough to provide a complimentary cup of tea or coffee to all ciorcalees this evening to celebrate the move. Join us for some chat and fun at 7.30 until 9.00 this evening.

Tá an fómhair tagtha faoi dheireadh agus tá na duilleoga ag titim. Nach bhfuil na dathanna go haoibheann faoi láthair. Ta fhios againn go bhfuil Oíche Shamhna ag druidim nuair a chloiseann muid na 'bangers' ag pléascadh gach oíche. Ná bac leis an hot chocolate trathnóna Déardaoin. Tar chuig an ciorcal cómhrá linn agus beidh píosa craic againn le chéile, trí Ghaeilge dar ndóigh!

Well, the autumn has finally arrived after our much deserved Indian Summer. The leaves are gently falling (until some windy night will blow every leaf from the tree). Aren't the colours beautiful? We know that Hallowe'en is coming when we hear bangers exploding every night. Put down your hot chocolate Thursday evening and come out to meet us at the ciorcál cómhrá where we'll have a bit of chat.

Ciorcál Cómhrá

Déardaoin 22ú Deireadh Fómhair

Thursday 22nd October

Tá muid arais!

Nama,nama,nama,nama, yéhéhé tá muid arais!

Tá súil ag Sinéad agus Máirín go raibh samhradh deas ag gach éinne agus go bhfuil sibh réidh chun Gaeilge a labhairt. Beidh muid ag plé na laethanta saoire.

Cá raibh sibh? Barbados nó Ballybunion? Staycation nó villa le infinity pool?

Is cuma linn. Tá muid ar fad bocht arís agus níl ach fágtha píosa craic agus cómhra.

We're back. Nama, pama, we're rearing to go!

Myself(Sinéad) and Máirín hope that you all had a lovely summer and that you're all ready to speak Irish again. We will be discussing holidays.

Where were you? Barbados in your shorts or Ballybunion in your wellies? Staycation or at your villa with the infinity pool(so 2007!) We don't care as we're all poor again, making soup out of the contents of our fridge which would normally end up in the compost. All we have left is some craic and conversation on competitive pricing(I know where you can get it even cheaper!)

Bígí linn trathnóna Déardaoin.

Be with us on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, 24th September.

An Grá

An dtaitníonn lá fhéile Vailintín leat ?

Cén fáth?

An bhfuil sé rómánsach? (romantic)

An bhfuil sé ró-dhoilleallach? (forced)

Cé acu ab fhearr leat - coróg bláthanna (bunch of flowers) nó cupán tae sa leaba ar maidin?(a cup of tea served to you in bed)

bosca seacláid nó dinnéar blasta déanta sa bhaile duit?

box of chocolates or a homemade dinner made for you

An raibh tú riamh i mbialann oíche Vailintín? Cén chaoi a raibh sé?

Were you ever in a restaurant on Valentine's night? How was it?

An leithscéal é chun na phraghasanna a ardú?

Is it an excuse to raise prices?

Ar chuir tú cárta Vailintín ag éinne riamh? Nuair a bhí tú i do dhéagóir, b'fhéidir?

Have you ever sent a card? Maybe as a teenager?
