Very happy that #Lúthien doesn't seem to be in pain after her massive #surgery on tuesday, see this post (in #Dutch).

She's very unhappy if I put her into the cage, but I have to: if she exerts too much force on her hind leg, chances are the whole construction will break. That would mean the entire leg will have to be amputated.

So I let her out as much as I can. I abandoned the desktop PC I use for work, because that's on the second floor. I work on my laptop now, in the living room. She loves to be with me.

The #crowdfund I started to pay the huge #vet bill is here:

In #Dutch, yes, but you know how to translate that, right..?

This is a #Dutch #train station converted into a restaurant. It is 200 meters from my sister’s house. Now she (me) has to bike 6 km to the next station at the southend of #Haarlem. Result, more driving. I can hear the intercity trains racing by very frequently. The bus goes every 15 minutes but not to the station 6 km away. So unfortunate. Also 20C tomorrow. #transit

Translating the word “lost” into #Dutch (practicing)
- “I am lost” - “Ik ben verdwaald”
- “I lost my wallet” - “Ik ben mijn portemonnee kwijt”
“Get lost” - “Rot op”
“We lost the match” - “We hebben de wedstrijd verloren”
“I lost it when I heard the news” - “Ik werd woedend toen ik het nieuws hoorde”

So many different words.. Any more I am forgetting?

Continued thread

#Ruben_Brekelmans said, citing the #Dutch military intelligence service

#Brekelmans noted that #Putin has often expressed his desire for revenge for the collapse of the #Soviet_Union and to restore his sphere of influence, concluding that "#Putin has the intention, capabilities and interests to continue his aggression beyond #Ukraine."

"We don't know exactly how #Putin will test #NATO. But we do know that if #Putin attacks a neighbouring country that belongs to #NATO after #Ukraine,

#Russia could carry out a "large-scale" troop move approximately a year after a ceasefire or peace agreement in #Ukraine, #Dutch Defence Minister #Ruben_Brekelmans said in a speech at a Coalition for Security Symposium.

"Imagine #Putin putting hundreds of thousands of troops on the #Baltic border for a large-scale exercise. The experience with #Ukraine is that we only know 1 week in advance whether it is a large-scale exercise or preparation for an attack,"

If you took in-person classes for learning the Dutch language in Amsterdam, and you felt they helped, can you tell me where you took them? I need to get to at least A2 by November, but preferably B1.

If its after 17:00 on weekdays, the closer to the rings the better. If its weekends, it can be anywhere in Amsterdam. :amsterdam:

I'm looking to sign up with my roommate :blue_heart_sparkle:

I was looking for #Dutch “keukenstroop” (dark sugar syrup) but all I could find was this #Swedish “Mörk Sirap”. To my surspise it is very, very similar to Dutch stroop. Any Swedes around who know how this is used in Swedish cuisine? The tri-lingual label suggests that it’s sold in Denmark and Finland as well. (Edit: add photo)
