Diabetics R Us

I think I've turned into my Mother. Youngest caught my eye when he was raiding the fridge, here's what was said.
Me: What are you doing?
Him: Nowt.
Me: Well, go back upstairs to do it.

Mum wasn't the most talkative and we did as we were told.
My youngest doesn't!
 
My fathers name was Jan, and whithout a doubt he has been called Jantje (little Jan) when he was little, but he definitely wasn't a lady

Is "Jan" a male and a female name in the Netherlands as it is in the US?

Not really. Jan is a male name. In Dutch, especially in Friesland, the province where I live and where they have their own language, you can put "je" or "tje" behind a lot of names which makes them female but is also used to make things smaller. You don't hear Jantje very often for women but it does exist.
 
Morning all

We had a lovely weekend away in the motorhome but the Sunday lunch in the local pub was very mediocre and I'd starved myself of carbs to have roasties .

We did have a good walk on Sunday morning, burnt off some calories.

Back to work but a nice short week.

Hope your all well.

Have a good day.

I hope work is going well. I'm glad I'm retired, feeling wonky this morning. Glad I can stay in but wish I felt like getting up and out.

Yes, work is good. I am lucky that I enjoy what I am doing (most days!). Getting a shiny new computer tomorrow.
 
Are you feeling better now?

Thank you, yes. I think I just hadn't eaten enough earlier. I've been either sleepy or tired the past couple of days but today was the first I've actually felt wonky.

I'm just relaxing today, staying out of the heat, and trying to remember to eat.
 
Morning all

A very early stupid o'clock for me but I did go to bed at 8pm. I may try having a little nap.

Have a good day.

Would anyone mind if I experiment? Trying to learn how to import an image.

Morning all

I was up at stupid o'clock again

I had a new computer installed at work yesterday and didn't get a lot done so it looks like I'll be busy today . I'm no longer working off the server but will be working in "the cloud" from now on. And I got a new keyboard so some of the keys have moved , my typing today could be interesting

Have a good day.

@heh Welcome to the cloud! I do just about all my computer work up here, since I switched from Windows to Chromebook a few years ago.
