Feasgar math 鈥� ciamar a tha sibh?

Tha sinn air a bhith a鈥� siubhal fad is farsaing (far and wide)! I think we must have visited every island in Orkney, and we even went in a plane! I鈥檓 not sure flying is the best way for me to travel. I didn鈥檛 see a single dog parachute on board!

A couple of days ago we were on Sanday, bird watching. Apparently birds move around a lot, heading south for the winter where it will be warmer. I doubt they move around as much as we have this year though! Anyway, we all had to be very quiet, so as not to scare any of the birds away. I didn鈥檛 think Seanair would be able to sit still for so long, but he got absorbed watching the birds. I just had a bit of a nap, since it was the easiest way to keep quiet! Too much risk of disturbing the birds if I鈥檇 been chomping through a packet of cheese and onion crisps.

We鈥檝e been eating the excellent food Orkney has, and it鈥檚 been great! But I鈥檒l probably feel it when Seanair starts taking us up mountains again!

Oidhche mhath!

Feasgar math. Tha mi an d貌chas gu bheil sibh gu math!

Seanair gave Munro a great compliment today. He said 鈥淭ha do cheann na bhrochan鈥�. Imagine how Munro must have felt, being compared to me! Well, I suppose I was bound to have an effect on him eventually. Probably just took a while to penetrate those ear phones of his.

Co-dhi霉, we鈥檝e been very busy here. The science festival was fun. Munro tried showing off all his knowledge (that took around five minutes!). I think the others were quite impressed with what he knew though.

We spent today at the Kirkwall Police Department. There was some music, a bit of dancing, and most importantly of all, I made some new friends! The Northern Constabulary Police Dogs were out! They are pretty impressive! Brave, too, letting humans work with them! But I think I鈥檓 more suited to my relaxed lifestyle.

F脿ilte a ch脿irdean! Tha sinn ann an Arcaibh! We鈥檙e jumping straight into it this month! The Orkney International Science Festival has already started, and we鈥檝e got plenty else to be seeing! This could be one of our busiest months yet, with over 50 islands to explore!

I鈥檝e been looking around, and I鈥檝e found out that the islands are mostly 鈥渓ow-lying鈥�. That means flat, or, as I like to think of it, Seanair-proof! I鈥檝e got a whole month away from walking up mountains! There are a couple of hills I鈥檓 sure he鈥檒l want to drag me up, but that鈥檚 nothing I can鈥檛 handle!

And with all the islands we have to visit, there are going to be plenty of ferry trips on which to relax!

Well. I鈥檇 best be off. Tha mi a鈥� dol a ghabhail norrag! (That means: 鈥業鈥檓 going for a nap鈥� - one of my favourite phrases!)

Mar sin leibh,

Brochan
