Scottish Word of the Week January 3
Forfar Loch this evening. Gorgeous sky but its freezing. Frost on the ground all day. (I still can't say loch properly. It sounds like I'm saying lock and thats not right :p)This weeks Scottish words:
1. ragnail
2. blaes
Answer to the last word:
1. plook is a pimple
Such pretty colours! Nice pic, Jennifer.

ReplyDeletewhat a pretty view. happy birthday sis. hahaha ur gettin old!

ragnail..let me see...it's either a hook for a dishcloth or towel or something.......
ReplyDeleteor....it's what we refer to as a hangnail....
blaes....hmmmm..... blues? .......
beautiful scene at the Loch.......
Wow! that is a gorgeous photo scene!! Hmm.. I think I might have a ragnail (;
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of Scottish words that even some Scottish people don't know the meaning off lol Hubbys grandparents know a lot of older words that are not used a lot now.
ReplyDeleteyeah well I don't have a kid to make me look old sis :p
yep a ragnail is a hangnail :)
Love that sunset! I think plook is much more descriptive than pimple.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot

ReplyDeleteWould be a beautiful painting!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday xx
I have a bonnie big plook right noo!
I have a hangnail....

I would be SO much easier if the Scots believed in phonetic spelling, LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWow this is gorgeous, so serene and so many colors. I thought we in AZ. have beautiful sunsets this time of year but you have beat me hands down with them. Too pretty for words and that is no hangnail. :)

To say 'loch' - just make a disgusting spitting sound from the back of your throat at the end of the word! You'll be able to speak Gaelic next!! Lovely pic :D
ReplyDeleteMary- I love a lot of Scottish words because they are very descriptive :) just can't say a lot of them lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike :)
It would be a pretty painting Helen. I haven't actually seen any paintings of the Loch. Which is odd because it can look very pretty at times (just have to watch out for the killer geese :p)
Thanks Tina :D (I feel old lol) Don't pop it and your not a mess!
lol Judi. Yes it would be so much easier lol (Hubby says that takes the fun out of it lol wouldn't get the confused embarrassed looks from the tourists)
I have a friend in AZ and her photos of the sunsets are gorgeous. Much better then the sunsets here. I think it was the cold that made the sky look like that :)
Looking forward to your photos Nichole :)
Thanks Bear :) yes very cold, but thankfully not as cold today.
lol I've tried making the noise that way and I just end up spitting on people :p No one I know around here speaks Gaelic which is a shame :/
beautiful, serene
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely shot Jen. I have been taking so many photographs lately and the light has been really nice. I love the reflection on the loch. I haven't been to Scotland for ages but drove down through the lochs in February one time. It was crisp and cold and the relections in the water are my biggest memory :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo! I need to come back and look through your blog later, looks interesting.
