I didn\u2019t feel like writing much this month, so I didn\u2019t. I think a few pictures will suffice for this diary entry.<\/p>\n

Remodelling<\/h2>\n

This is the result of all of that hard work. It\u2019s all done, everything has been repainted and the garden has been replanted. I haven\u2019t visited it yet. I don\u2019t like change and rely on my ancient stress-free routines. Once they deliver my bath chair, I\u2019ll start sleeping in the brown chair and bathing downstairs. <\/p>\n

(from a Sinterklaas poem)[roughly translated]
\nWant welk meisje van 16 jaar
\nWhat sixteen-year-old girl<\/i>
\nStaat altijd voor haar moeder klaar?
\nIs always there for her mum?<\/i>
\ngeeft \u2018s morgens een bord met pap
\nIs there every morning with a bowl of porridge<\/i>
\nEn ‘s middags een beker appelsap?
\nand there every afternoon with a glass of apple juice<\/i>
\nMaakt roti en chicken tonight
\nCooks roti and chicken tonight<\/i>
\nEn is een brok vriendelijkheid?
\nAnd is as friendly as they come?<\/i>
\nGeeft cr\u00e8me fraiche met een pil
\nFeeds me creme fraiche and my pills<\/i>
\nPrecies als haar moeder het wil
\nJust like how her mum likes it?<\/i>
\nPast de greep van Heimlich toe
\nApplies the Heimlich maneuver<\/i>
\nAls haar moeder met veel gedoe
\nWhen her mum tries, with all her might<\/i>
\nProbeert Slijm op te hoesten
\nTo hawk up some mucus<\/i>
\nTerwijl ze Expeditie Robinson kijken moesten
\nWhile they\u2019re watching Survivor?<\/i>
\nNee ze heeft het getroffen
\nShe is so glad<\/i>
\nZo\u2019n meid is boffen
\nTo have a girl like that.<\/i><\/p>\n

Ward<\/h2>\n

Ward<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

(From a Sinterklaas poem)[roughly translated]
\nVoor Sint is Ward ook een held
\nSaint Nick thinks Ward is a hero too<\/i>
\nWant voor welke jongen van 13 geldt
\nBecause not many thirteen-year-olds<\/i>
\nDat hij tortellini kan maken
\nCan make tortellini like that<\/i>
\nEn de sla lekker doet smaken
\nOr make salads that great<\/i>
\nDat hij een fruithap maalt
\nOr makes smoothies<\/i>
\nEn om een PEG niet taalt
\nBecause PEGs don\u2019t take fruit<\/i>
\nDie chocola aan zijn moeder geeft
\nFeeds chocolate to his mum<\/i>
\nEn iedere 10 minuten, heel beleefd,
\nAnd every ten minutes, very courteously<\/i>
\nBeneden komt om te kijken
\nPeeks downstairs<\/i>
\nOf er iets niet in orde mag blijken
\nTo check if everything\u2019s alright<\/i>
\nDie ook nog zingt en danst
\nWho still sings and dances<\/i>
\nEn niet met meisjes sjanst
\nAnd isn\u2019t crazy about girls yet?<\/i>
\nNee Sint heeft het getroffen
\nSaint Nick is most impressed<\/i>
\nMet zo\u2019n jongen mag hij boffen
\nAnyone would be happy to have a boy like that.<\/i><\/p>\n
