Nice Janett Regards Paul Janett do you speak French ?
Nope. I can read and understand :0)) well English is obvious. German, Danish, Norweigan and understand the contents of texts in Dutch. But i cant speak German any more............to long ago and they speak backwords so i rather skip it and answere in English. We get many tourists from Germany and it works. But i can watch German TV. the dubbed voices is sometimes hilarious. To hear John Wayne with his Wiskey voice speaking with a squeeky German voice ROTFLMAO.

Rotflol. Actually i have many Finnish friends that lives in Sweden and they have tried to teach me. I say no way. (sorry Evert) but I think Finnish is the absolutely ugliest language on this planet. My Sons Goodfather is from Finland but he doesnt speak Finnish. he speaks Finnish-Swedish and that is an adorable dialect.
Danish and Norweigan is more closely related so if people speak slow we understand each other. Reding it is a totally different story. The dialect in Copenhagen is the easiest to understand. But the Dialect far up in the north of Norweig, heck even their capitol residents have trouble to understand what they are saying.
We have a big island called Gotland and if they speak their antient dialect no one here understands a single word, its a totally different language, but sadly that dialect is dying out fast
I wish my father had tought me Polish as a child, but he only tought me German as he was bilangual when he grew up and at age 16 fleed to Sweden during WW II.
Kin didnt you too have a Grand Marnier?

Janett, I don't have Grand Marnier. By the looks of yours I wish I did!!
I can understand what you are saying about the different dialects just within one country. The Fin language is very difficult and seems to change every 60 miles or so...LOL My mouth never was able to get into the correct shape to make some of the sounds required for pronunciation!!
I made many mistakes! The poor girl who I was good friends with had a name that if you didn't get your tongue or mouth correct her name came out as ..... Well lets just say it's a part of the male anatomy. LOL They still joke me about it!!!
I was called the Tuhma Poika from Amerika. (bad boy from America) and some other things.
In fact it's Kylli's Birthday today and they are having a party for her. I will be making a call in just a few minutes to her. I wonder if I should call her Kooli...LOL
Keep up the good work growing your Brugs.
Later,,,

Rotflol. Kin you better stick with the Hi Sweetie :0))
Well the temp here have cooled of quite a bit as we got the left overs from the "maybe hurricane" yesterday so Grand Marnier is slower in changing colour as colder temp gives paler colours and temp here is only 68 F and its the middle of the day.
Grand Marnier dont close up even the slitests during daytime and she have a scent during the day time too. she have a soft smell like "Lily of the vally" during the day and have a much different stronger scent during the nights.
This is how she looks at 1 pm
Janett
and a picture of the colour she is starting to get.
Janett
I know you cant get accurat messures for the first flowers on most plants but she messures 8 inches /diameter and the tendrils are 2 1/2 inches.

Hehe sorry Evert :0)) your right didnt hit me since its Finska in Swedish, just put the enlish sound after.
