!"#$%&' Chan eil duine a th’air ùine a chur seachad air croit, no air tuath air a bheil imcheist sam bith mu cho feumail `s a tha sreang na bèile.

Cò mheud mìle geata a chunna sibh fhèin a th’air a cheangal le sreang na bèile? Na ceudan rudan a’ crochadh bho na sailthean anns na sabhalan, dusain de pharsailean air am pasgadh, cruinn, ceangailte le pìos de shreang na bèile. Mar sin chan e idir “A bheil sreang na bèile feumail?” ach “Dè cho feumail agus cho iol-chomasach `s a tha e?” `S ann le beagan

fealla-dhà a thoisich mi air an seo agus `s beag a bha dhùil agam gun togadh e uimhir se dh’ùidh a-measg chàirdean agus mo chooibrichean. Cha mhòr gu robh duine aig nach robh eisimpleir math air cleachdadh san teaghlach air sreang na bèile! Bha sinn eòlach gu leòr air a’ mhòr-chuid de na molaidhean - ach, bha grunn math de chleachdaidhean annasach agus iongantach. Ged a sguir mi a thogail dhealbhan aig 101, cha do sguir na beachdan air tuilleadh chleachdaidhean – cò

aig tha fios, `s dòcha gu feum mi an dara iris fhoillseachadh! Chòrd e rium gu mòr a bhith a’ toirt an leabhar seo ri chèile agus do luchd-leughaidh na Gàidhlig, chì sibh gun tug Dolina NicLeòid a dreach fhèin air an teacsa. Tha mi an dòchas gu faigh sibhse an aon toileachas às a bhith dha leughadh.
