you and Judg are both MIA ................ sorry you're feeling crumby.

I can keep tabs on Candy through Facebook. She's the only one who posts in my newsfeed in Dutch! lol She has posted recently, so I know she's still around - just can't tell what she's saying.

[tomi]

you could always cut paste into a translator online then translate a respond and paste it on her wall

[Coll]

Those translators can mangle things quite badly sometimes I have seen some pretty funny results ... but worth a try! I could probably translate what she said come to think of it - it is pretty close to Afrikaans in some ways...

[Judg]

In some ways? Afrikaans is a direct descendant of Dutch, and a pretty recent one too. I bet you could understand 3/4 of it.

[Coll]

I can read her recipes and her blog well enough to understand the majority of it Fun...

Candy, really hoping all is well with you and that your back has settled down at last! Drop us a line when you can - ons verlang en wil graag hoor hoe dit met jou gaan!! Dit is nie die selfde sonder jou nuus!!!

[Coll]

Afrikaans is one of the newest languages in the world - or it was when I was at school ... at least that is what we were told ...

Hi girls, sorry I didn't get back here but things are a crazy busy here! My back is better, luckily and I've been back to doing CrossFit (not looking for any PR's though, not stressing my back too much). I had an injection of cortisone straight into the hernia, which seemed to have fixed it pretty much . What a relieve!
But now I have to make up for the time lost, testing lots of recipes for both book and side business. I'm hoping to "go live" with my side business of baking primal, gluten-free goodies as of December 1st. And as I'll be on holiday the whole last week of November that leaves me *eeeeeek* only 2 weeks!

I thought about you often, but just don't much time to spend on forums nowadays. Those of you on Facebook who want to add me, just ask my name or send me yours in a private message! I'm on FB almost daily , although as Jenn says most of my postings are in Dutch . Google translate doesn't do too bad a job at translating though.
Col, as Judg says Afrikaans is indeed derived from Dutch; I have one Dutch friend who sometimes post things in Afrikaans on her wall (she has many friends in South Africa) and I can understand most of what she writes (and vice versa, her SA-friends seem to understand most of what she writes in Dutch).

OK, as I'm in the office I might have some time to go read some of your journals! I'll try write an update here regularly!

I was WONDERING what you were up to. Glad to hear it is exciting things.

Candy, so happy to hear that you are just busy with good things!! Excellent news that your back is so much better too! I will try to connect with you on FB.
