HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!

 happy Birthday @Appleblossom 🌸💕🎈

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone.

This is the biggest birthday I have ever had. I appreciate all your well wishes. It is lovely to sense all the various threads of different relationships, even if they are online. It feels a little like what it might have been like to have a normal party... Lol... What does Apple know about normal...lol

@TAB were you speaking Dutch to me! Clever Puddy tat. Hartelijk dank.

@StuF @outlander @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51

@Dimity I hadn't heard of Sandra Boynton... Might lurch into a little search...lol

Hope your day has been good....

Alles Klar @Appleblossom Apfel ..😊

Ach! Some German some Dutch @TAB Ja, alles gut

Faulheit @Appleblossom there seem to be some similarities, but lots is worlds apart. Im vergleich mit Hochdeutsch jedenfalls.

have a good day 😎

It's not Plaatdeutsch @TAB not that I would know. The cognates can be similar but Dutch spelling does my head in.

Happy Birthday @Appleblossom

All the Very Best to you.

I vaguely know Hoch Deutsch , ie the official language, not others or dialects @Appleblossom I stayed in Trier like 20 something years ago. had never heard of it. was thru rel. they have their own language; only 70k's to Luxembourg. cousin even found an Asterix book in local dialect, well think its a language even

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moselle_Franconian_language

lots tiny little pubs if you know where to go. cats run free in eating areas. Luxemburgers eat horse, so do Moselle people. lots Roman ruins. I saw a beautiful model of Trier in like 50 AD as Roman City in a museum. pop back then around 100k ie over twice what it is now lol
