#Scotstober Day 9 - LOCH

I've changed the text size from previous entries. Is that better or worse?

Also I'm not sure about getting into semantics in the notes, is that something writers, learners or subeditors might care about?

Tae hae said aboot ye that ye ‘fancied yer barry’ implied ye thocht a lot o yersel - a cut aboon others in the same company.

Barrie:
A barrie wis a flannel claith tae wrap roond a new born bairn. Ma granny makit bairns claes - barries, semmits, goonies.

#Scotstober day 9 Loch

“A’ll mak pea an ham soup” wis ma thocht.
Sae a went oot an bocht a ham hoch.
Gaein hame by the loch,
A drappit the hoch
As it sank oot o sicht a thocht…. “och!”

Whan fowk up fae England say “loch”
They rhyme it wi “brock” an no “broch”;
But thae Sassenachs
Can manage wi “Bach”,
Composer o music Baroch.
