I'm ashamed to say that I'm not, although I did pass my Welsh 'O' Level back in 1964, written and oral, where I was in a class whose Welsh was considered to be a second language. I do know lots of words and phrases, of course. My German is considerably better.

My other half went to school in Rhodesia and they had to do Afrikaans but he was useless at it but unless they passed they were not allowed to go into the top stream for maths and science in *which he always got top marks. His options for progression was severely limited. He bitterly resented it even to this day.

Basically Dutch, I believe, which someone once described (rather unkindly) as more like a throat infection than a language.

5.8 this morning after waking around 3am to a hypo. Luckily I didn’t over treat it, but who wants to eat stuff in the middle of the night?
Day on the locks today : lovely day and we took a single hander (single person on a boat) down the complete flight of 21 locks. Took all morning but he was so grateful it made it all worthwhile. Helped some other boats on the way back up to top lock, had some lunch and then left as by then there were no more boats moving through the flight.
Nice free outdoor gym for us though :
Take care everyone.

17.07.2024 22:37 BS 6.7 🙂
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
Well! I posted, & moaned, too soon yesterday as in the lyrics of a song “What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours.” I AM getting NR right now & I CAN manage on the usual NR doses for meals BUT, the shape of my meal hills look different now on slightly too little basal? I get a prolonged flat, plateau, peak now before it comes down slowly. I saw that pattern emerging yesterday when I held off adding corrections: I thought BS was stuck too high for too long; it DOES come back down eventually but, it’s a prolonged plateau before it dies so!
All of my meals graphs look like that now on the same NR doses! A Happy Bunny emoji! 😉
Already had breakfast & it’s bang in the middle of plateau peak now & it’s a lower peak now of 11s, MY today as body clock is still out of whack, today when it was in the 16s before: stuck in more NR; backlash heading off of hypos later! I know what’s going on now & things are levelling off: see what I did there? 😉😉 Nudge, nudge!

Good morning! wake a bit too early as early but, not silly o'clock, Physiotherapy. Bad night. Often after Podiatry dressing change Neuropathic (nerve) Pain starts. Seemed a bit worse than usual yesterday and then Phantom Pain joined in early evening. After restless night 9.3

Morning an 8.3 after a bit of DP but will settle back down and another gentle trend overnight.
Lovely day beckons and a trip to Rhyl so will be on lookout for an ice cream and a short queue but that is the bit I may struggle with as the tourists will be out in force.
Have a good day all.

Good morning all. 6.7 and a lovely flatfish.
We did manage to eat our lunch outside yesterday after a lovely warm morning but the sun was being very stubborn and refused to come out for us and was a bit of a cool breeze at times. After the hordes went at 4.30 of course it came out with a vengeance and we sat outside with a drink. It was glorious. More of the same today, not at home, but definitely in Chester where we’re heading for a couple of nights. Forecast is 23-25c! Better pack the the factor 30. Looking forward to it, haven’t been since the kids were little and we went to the zoo. We’re not going to the zoo this visit though.
It’ll be strange packing heels and frocks and not walking boots and waterproofs! And someone else feeding me, making the bed and picking the soggy towels off the bathroom floor! TBF, even in hotels I make the bed and pick up the towels before the housekeepers come, but I definitely don’t do any cooking or washing dishes!
Have a great day.

Morning all. 4.8 here.
Yesterday was a loooong day, but we gave our lovely retiring secretary a nice send-off. She wants to learn Welsh, so she’ll hopefully appear in one of my beginner classes in the next couple of years. The leaving bash was at Druidstone Hotel - wow, just 20 minutes out of the hustle n bustle of Haverfordwest, it’s all single-track lanes with hardly any passing places, suddenly opening out to the most amazing sea views. Great choice of venue!
Enjoy your mini-break @eggyg.

Morning all, 6.1 here.
Planned a nice relaxing afternoon gardening yesterday…it didn’t happen. Had an SOS from daughter, someone drove into the back of her on a country road when she had to stop as a Red Kite flew up off the road towards her windscreen (Red Kites have a 6ft wingspan, you can’t just ignore them). Other driver can’t have been paying attention, she didn’t even brake that hard. She was fine, but we drove out to wait with her until the recovery vehicle got there (her car is a write off) and brought her home.
There was a thread on the forum started by @Lucyr a few weeks ago about What3words, and I thought, what a good idea, and downloaded the App as we were just about to go on a walking holiday. It was certainly useful yesterday, (as we were on an unnamed country road on the middle of nowhere) ,though some of the words can be difficult to convey, one of them was 'contexts' and every time, the person on the other end wrote 'contact' even though she painstakingly spelled it out. Didn’t help that the mobile signal wasn’t the greatest and kept cutting out at the worst moments.

Good morning everyone.

A few unbelievably busy days so I have not been on here.
I have been asked to organise the worship team rota for the church going forwards. Looking into it, it's a bit like herding cats!!! I have already written an App to help me do the job. I am particularly pleased with it as it only allows me to allocate people to roles when they are available. Sounds easier said than done. Still it was a fun couple of days designing and programming. They used to do it all on paper. Do you remember that strange crinckly, easily torn, even more easily lost stuff that people used to use along with pens or pencils or quills!!!!.
That reminds me of one of the first schools I went to, they actually forced us to use ink pens! Being left handed, it was a nightmare for me. The amount of mess I made on the paper and all over me was remarkable. They banned biros too!!! So enlightened.
The nibs were always designed (and cut/slanted) for right handed people. This image is a delux version of the sort of thing I was forced to use. I even started writing backwards (so I am told).
Yesterday I was asked to play at the church today and then that was cancelled a few hours later (illness). Probably best as I would struggle to find the time to practice.
My increased exercise is going well and my weight is dropping off (combined with a stricter diet). And, it's quite pleasant in the sunshine, cloud, cold, stormy, wet, windy weather, and my wife.
I had better sort the lyrics out for a new song wot I writ... roses are red, violets are blue....
Have a great day today whatever you are doing
