Peatstack

First, congrats to Jock on his calendar. The Peatstack lost a brother to leukemia and therefore urges everyone to get behind Jock's venture in calendars, he's asking £5 each, I'd say give him at least £10. Not the first time Jock has used his fertile imagination for the benefit of others, of course, make it an annual charity event on the BBC (don't have enough of those at present), perhaps under the working title Lemon-Aid. Abair tairsgeir balach! And when are the women of Gress going to reveal (not quite) all cheekily discreet behind a fold or two of washing? Don't know where the calendar is available, don't want to give out Jock's phone number on a website, so look aroudn the Back / Stornoway area, I'm sure Gordon's will stock it.
It's good to see local Gress produce being showcased, though. The new range of croft lingerie is really something. The Peat range replaces the knotted head scarf and Sunday best hat as the lingerie of choice for the boireannaich 's cailleachs of the district, but it got the Peatstack thinking...what range of new croft fragrances could add to the coffers of Lemon-Aid. A few suggestions...
'Eau de Cremola' by Prem de Van
'Guga' by Dods of Ness
'Duff' by Calum Klein
'Diesel Red' by Gordons
'Marrag Dearg' |& 'Barley' by Charlie
Currently working on brand names for new essences of sgadan sailte, ceann cropach etc. All suggestions welcome.
By the way, has anyone out there ever looked up the Gaidhlig for perfume in Dwelly's. Quite rightly the man lists the terms as cubhraidh (can't put the accent on the u here). It's always interesting to read the little examples he provides, but can't for the life of me work out why adn how he choose the entry for this one...rinn mi mo leabadh cubhraidh...meaning, I have perfumed my bed.
