However I do talk to the Butcher birds in their own language... haven't got a clue what I am saying but I think they get me !!
Maintenant c'est a vous

Hi,je crois que tu es beaucoup plus intelligente que moi. Ca m'arrive trop souvent,que je parle avant de reflechir. Sometimes that's good, autrement on arrive pas a dire ce qu'on veut. (how can I put accents on words, when I write french? doesn't work on the forum, does it?)But you might not see it,if you don't put your glasses on.

Merci de me sauver,as we say thanks for saving my butt!

Plaisir! The accents come from using a french keyboard in conjunction with the english one. You have to juggle the two for certain letters...can be challenging at times LOL

Soit dit en passant, comme je suis en train de commencer une carrière en soins aux personnes âgées, j'apprends beaucoup au sujet de "butt saving"

LOL

I knew there was something missing on my computer,and as you noticed,I am challenged from time to time.When I write in french,It takes me for ever,because I use the translation and spelling, that is doing my little head in! bonne nuit, a demain, Marie-Louise

You can download the french keyboard from microsoft I think if it isn't already loaded on your computer. I just run the two together under (regions & stuff on the control panel). I type the words in and just change to Fr when I need the accents etc. :)
A bientot!!

Hi birdie and friend,I like providing the entertainment. Can tell you a nice story, I used to go with my daughter to horse events.One day I talked to a girl for some time, when my daughter turned up, and said to the girl: I see, you've met my mum.To that the girl answered: Yes, and boy, your mum is full of shit!! That about summs me up! Ps.: I'd rather be full of shit, than booooring!

LOL well Araminta you have a point there I guess. My friend and her daughter are true blue horse people and she says that she doesn't think she has ever come across the problem of contamination in the creeks back in NZ. We were wondering what kind of contaminants you are worried about with your horse?
Just went out to the beach and got to meet one of our young Forum members.... lovely to see such a young person who is really into nature.

Hi birdie, sorry it took so long for me to answer. To the creek in a park the damage is due to erosion on banks, muggying of the water etc causing silt issues downstream. Apart from that other risks would be weed seeds spread by manure, including exotic grasses. As to horses,unless the horse is sick, in which case it only spreads to the other horses, not to the local wallaby etc. So the reasons are my concern for the environment. Hope you have a nice time with your friend.

Sorry, should read " muddying" not muggying, what was I thinking?

Sorry Araminta, I think I read your horse comment all wrong then in that case, I thought you were saying that the horses could get damaged from the creek!!!! I got it the wrong way round then LOL
It makes more sense this way I must say :')
We have had a nice time thanks, but it has gone too fast unfortunately. it is lovely for us to catch up and particularly as we both have teenage daughters now and to see them together is so special after all the years that has gone past. You just can't beat that special bond that women friends get between each other..... although if you ask a man.....

Araminta's picture

Oh, mon pauvre faucon, tes griffes ne t’aideront pas ! Tu me trouveras dans un arbre, le plus beau oiseau que t’as jamais rencontré. Je chanterais la plus belle chanson
que t’as jamais entendu. Tu tomberas amoureux de cette créature , la plus belle petite, que tu as entendu. Tu reste sur une branche tous près de moi, pour m’admirer. Tu ne vas plus a la chasse, tu ne mange plus, tu ne fais que m’écouter ! Oh, mon pauvre
faucon, finalement ce serra ton amour , et le désire qui va te tuer . Tu vois, mon ami, c’est ce qu’elles font, les filles ! C’est l’amour sans solution qui te tueras.
Les grands amours, les filles et les oiseaux .....souffre!

L'amour est effrayant, l'amour est difficile
L'amour n'est pas pour les timides
Pour tomber en amour est d'être très forte
À mourir pour l'amour est le sacrifice ultime
Mais la survie est pur instinct, car l'amour est un champ de bataille des larmes

Araminta

Quelle profondeur, un faucon romantique! Quelle sacrifice, mourir our les chansons d'un petit oiseau. Que c'est triste! Que le bon dieu me pardonne, que le diable me pardonne.....Je n'accepte pas de sacrifices, tu gagne mon faucon philosophe! Il faut mieux vivre, en gardant l'amour passionnel pour tous les oiseaux du monde, au lieu d'un seul!

Hi Windhover,(faucon), est-ce que tu parles d'autres langues appart du Francais? Sprichst Du auch Deutsch? Ich habe einige Zeit in Deutschland gelebt,wir koennten dann mal Deutsch schreiben?

Natürlich kann ich ein bischen auf Deutsch sprechen Marie-Louise. Leider kein Französisch, aber Google is meinem besten Freund für übersetzen. LOL! Viele Leute wer in Ungarn geboren haben können ganz gut Deutsch sprechen, und ich wohnte auch in Niederösterreich für sechs Monaten bevor nach Australien gekommen bin mit meinen Eltern, dafür lernte ich Deutsch.

Das mit dem "Google-Franzoesisch", soll ich das glauben? Ist viel zu gut! Das Gedicht: l'amour effrayant... habe ich versucht auf Google zu finden, ohne Erfolg! Ist das aus einem Chanson, oder franz. Philosophie? Gestehe,und ich vergebe Dir! Bis bald, Marie-Louise Have a nice evening Dein Deutsch ist seeeehr gut!

Es ist nicht ein Gedicht oder Chanson oder literarisches Meisterwerk. Ich schrieb es. Ich schreibe gerne und benutzt, um Musik und die Texte für meine Gruppe schon vor langer Zeit zu schreiben. Ich habe eine kreative Seite offensichtlich. Vielleicht eines Tages werde ich schreiben ein guter Krimi.

Araminta
Araminta's picture

Pas de surprise,mon ami!Quel genre de musique fais-tu? Deine Kreativitaet war mir klar.Was Du schreibst ist voller Leidenschaft. Die selbe Leidenschaft, mit der Du sicher Alles in Deinem Leben anfasst?(habe ich recht?)Mein Sohn Rene ist sehr aehnlich,Buecher, Lesen, (mit 3 Jahren), Kunst, Musik(3 bands).Sein erstes Buch war ueber Einzeller (Amoeben).Hat dann aber Kunst studiert. Das einzige Problem mit so viel Leidenschaft ist, wir werden oft frustriert,upset und angry to quickly.Mir geht das so.Ich sage dann Dinge, die ich bereue! Mein Sohn ist da besser, er bleibt cool. Ich habe da mehr Feuer in mir, ich denke Du auch. Tu aimes la musique classique et le Jazz aussi? My son plays Indi Rock,and expermental music, how about you?

M-L

Windhover
Windhover's picture

Ja, ich bin sehr leidenschaftlich über das, was ich liebe. Und ich liebe klassische (Jazz ist in Ordnung), vor allem Beethoven. Er ist der Meister! Meine bevorzugte alltägliche Musik ist mehr entlang der Linien von Heavy Metal und Progressive Metal. Gruppen wie Dream Theater, Opeth, Megadeth usw. Es ist ein seltsamer Kontrast zwischen meiner Liebe zur Schönheit der Natur und das "Rauschen" der Metal-Musik. Ich spielte Gitarre und sang in einem Metall-Gruppe.

Coucou Birbie et Akos, alors on parle l'Allemand maintenant? Tampis mes enfants. Akos Heavy Metal, Natur und Beethoven sind kein Kontrast! Das macht Deine Person aus. Wie beim Kind das Lachen und Weinen nebeneinander sind!Like you, I've had that passion all my life,even when I was little, I used to stand up for everything,I thought needed help.Mit 6 Jahren bin ich von einer Schule geflogen.Hier die story: ich hatte eine Spinne in einer Dose mitgebracht,um sie der Lehrerin zu zeigen. Leider ist sie mir auf den Boden gefallen.Die Lehrerin hat einfach auf sie getreten, weil alle Kinder geschrien haben.Ich war so boese, ich habe die Frau getreten und boese Woerter geschrien! Tell you what,I'd do the same today!I have not lost the passion to stand up for what I think is right, and neither will you!!!

Hi Araminta, I studied french and German to University level, but my passion was with French. Sadly much of what we learn gets forgotten over time :(
Regarding standing up for what you believe in..... I feel it is alive and well with my next generation..... not an easy road for her though as she is already finding you stand alone in many cases .

Das ist lustig! Legen Sie die Boot in den Lehrerin.
I only studied German at high school and it was not offered in the senior years (11 and 12) but I was pretty good at it. :)

Dyslexia is what you call that Marie-Louise! :)

It's not going to be easy, she will need YOUR support birdie.(Voegelchen!) You know what my mum did, after she had to go to my school, and talk to the teacher? I got an icecream,and she told me, it was good to stand up for the poor spider! Ich denke, das hat mich gepraegt fuer mein Leben. Ich wuerde auf Baeume klettern, um Tiere zu retten! Ich greife aber auch Leute an im Supermarkt, die Kinder schlagen! Wie ich Akos versuche zu erkaeren,alles das macht deine Persoenlichkeit aus! (Ich schreibe gerne in Deutsch, kann das nicht so gut mit den accents.You don't teach an old dog like me ...anything) Akos, ich mag auch Beethoven,aber auch Mahler!

I think that Voegelchen is just toooo cute, maybe I should keep it permanently.

How would you say it in French?
I advise my daughter in a similar way to you Araminta... but I do tell her to learn diplomacy, as if you want to make a difference you may need to find the best path to your aims.
She is only 12 and has very strong opinions developing about all sorts of stuff.
She will not be a wall flower I can tell you!

I think "Voegelchen" is sooo cute! Mais en Francais c'est un mot masculin, et t'es une fille! Voegelchen- l'oiselet. But you could be brave, and change it to -l'oiselette. Werden nicht viele Leute merken? Many people have tried to teach me to be more diplomatic, didn't work. I often think, speak, and then reflect. Sometimes it's to late, but one can apologize!? Your way is much better though.

Bonjour Voegelchen! You know, I still don't have a camera, but the day is close,saved up some money.(very little!) Today I read about the "Canon SX 30 IS",as someone who is not good with technologie,(rather stupid), to me it sounded good. Sort of point and shoot, just good for me.Was impressed by the zoom. What do you know about the camera? what do you think?
