Anna was usually very busy with obair an taighe (housework), but not today!
Tha an taigh na bhùrach! Tha a h-uile seòmar cho mì-sgiobalta. Mar is trice, bidh mi a’ sgioblachadh an taighe a h-uile seachdain. Na seòmraichean-cadail, a h-uile Diciadain. Agus na h-uinneagan agus na taighean-beaga – bidh mi gan glanadh gach Disathairne, ach ‘s e Dihaoine a th’ ann an-diugh!
The house is a mess! Every room is so untidy. I usually tidy the house every week. The bedrooms every Wednesday … and the toilets and the windows – I usually clean them every Saturday, but it’s Friday today!
