so what are you talking about Mike LOL what *is* simmer dim? or is that
Gaelic for sunset ;-)
MCC...
|
We don't speak Gaelic in Orkney or Shetland ;-) It's a foreign language to
us.
Simmer dim is the Shetland expression to describe the time at mid-summer
when the sun just about sinks below the horizon but never enough for it to
get completely dark on a clear night.

|
oic LOL and......... so if you dont speak Gaelic may i ask what it is
you do speak. ?? LOL amongst yourselves of course otherwise i expect i
wouldnt understand anyway LOL
MCC...
|
We speak our own dialects of English, which is heavily laced with old Norn
(Scandinavian) words. The Shetland and Orcadian dialects are not the same -
there are lots of differences and the Shetland dialect has many more of the
old words.
Rabbit...
|
According to a programme I watched recently Orcadian has more in common with
Lowland Scots ( Lallans) than Gaelic.
BTW have you seen http://sco.wikipedia.org ? :-)
