Rhotic 6
Uafásach lá Ding.
Fadhbanna an maidin leis an múinteoir ceoil
Tá maidin Dé Sathairn luath sin le linn
Chastised dom Cuanach .. “mam a dúirt mé liom a fháil ar am ceacht éagsúla nach bhfuil miondealú néaróg
Ag iarraidh a mhíniú dó nach bhfuil an domhan i gcónaí mar ba chóir é a
Ba chóir go mbeadh an domhan ar ndóigh, gach oibriú comhoibriú agus Scooby Doo agus laughter
Grá sé Nob Nation. An nach greannmhar? Biffo agus a chairde. Cad a buachaill!

Notes
These are notes (and subsequent links) I wrote while listening to Steve McCaffrey talk loosely around the topic of a multitude of topics. (Lacan was an entry point at some point) He’s a very interesting, including bloke. Initially I struggled to understand much of what he was talking about, hence there are a few pointers on how I might improve my bathroom cleaning, but eventually I settled and simmered with him and the conversation. Mainly I just grabbed words out of the air that were floating past me. Some of the names I am not familiar with hence dubiousmos spelling. This is an attempt to document what exists in auditory, no context acquisition, and what the precise words really are and relate to. Sort of like listening to any foreign language. Amendments will be added in another colour.

The Sound of Mr Neal Rockwell III
To clarify I did actually hear the sound of Mr Neal Rockwell, he was the breathy character at the beginning of his radio play, he has a voice utterly charmant, whether it’s exaggerated or not. He has a very funny ring to him. I keep getting derailed from recalling his sound piece because these are such auditory days. Autumn is maybe our most auditory season. Today alone there was a car wash of sounds around my ears without even having to listen.
Ugh disaster, just typed an epic description on the sound of Neal Rockwell and the internet mysteriously gobbled it up. I am yet again derailed from detailing it. Sweet mercy divine! How long can this thwarting persist? I had even named the two voices besotted with chicken legs (bwcl) and Pedantic with assurity (Pwa). The cruelty of technology.

Red Saturday
My head is licht, my heart is weak, my een are growing blin’;
The bairn is faen’ aff my knee -Oh! John catch haud o’ him,
From The Last Sark Ellen Johnson (factory poet, 1859) (found in Working Class Women Poets in Victorian Britain edited by the deft and marvelous Florence S Boos)

Sums up this Saturday morrow perfectly. Occasionally only Red can encapsulate it. It’s a red morning, bruised with green in every sense.

Rhotic 5
Mé iarr ceisteanna roinnt daoine (no b’fhéidir D’iarr mé ar na ceisteanna ar dhaoine …) an tseachtain seo agus ní bheidh aon D’fhreagair. An bhfuil an iarraidh na ceisteanna níos lú inghlactha san áit seo? Nó do na daoine cheana féin na freagraí.
Tá sé greannmhar is féidir liom a iarraidh ceisteanna agat i nGaeilge nach bhféadfadh leomh mé i mBéarla.
Bhí tú ceart éist mé le báisteach agus codladh níos fearr. Ní dóigh liom go maith codlata na laethanta.

bhí sé ar maidin uafásach

Rhotic 4
Bhí rud éigin nach raibh tuiscint agam inniu ach mé dearmad a bhfuil sé.
Tá sútha talún sa ghairdín fós.
Tá sé seo ag cur báistí. Éisteacht leat nach bhfuil sé ar an mbóthar an fhuinneog.
Tá súil agam gur féidir leat a chloisteáil dom Ding.
