So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.

Bi socair — be still.

Just discovered Ionnsaich for Scottish Gaelic. You can speak or type in English and get proper Gaelic back with pronunciation and audio. The AI partner makes it feel like chatting with a patient tutor. Great for community language projects.

High in tannins: they bind iron and blunt oral medications, so leave two hours either side of anything you take on a schedule. Skip it in pregnancy or if you're anemic. And be certain of your identification — alder is not buckthorn, and buckthorn is a violent purgative. If you're eighty percent sure about the tree, buy the bark instead. #Herbalism #Herbalist #Alder #Feàrna #FolkMedicine #Foraging #Botany #Nature #Gardening #Druid #Folklore #Gàidhlig

Grey alder — Alnus incana, feàrna. For the throat that's been screaming.
Dried inner bark only, aged several months, never fresh — fresh bark will make you vomit, which is exactly why the old preparation insists on the drying. One teaspoon to a cup, simmered ten minutes, strained, cooled to warm. Gargle and spit. Good as an external wash on weepy skin and foot soaks.

Q: How does Scottish Gaelic feature into the story, and did you incorporate any Gaelic legends or folklore into The Boy Maeve?

There is a specific tiredness that comes from being argued about. It is not the tiredness of work. It is the exhaustion of a body that has been asked to be evidence.
Set it down. Not forever. Just for a while.

*Tha an talamh a' cumail cunntais* — the earth keeps the count.

What are you setting down today?

August is the month the year stops promising and starts delivering, and delivery is heavier than promise. The tomatoes come in faster than the counter can hold them. The goldenrod is up. The light leaves a few minutes earlier each evening, so slightly you register it in the shoulders before you register it in the sky.

Four days past Lughnasadh and the light goes a minute and a half earlier every night. Too small to notice. Too steady to argue with.

“Nor is heaven as is alleged.
Nor is hell as is asserted.
Nor is the good eternally happy.
Nor is the bad eternally unhappy.”

Scaring off the Loch Ness Monster is quite an achievement, but my favourite St Columba story is the one where he buries St Oran alive, twice
