More speaking in Tongues

My demented client has not yet reverted to her original Dutch fulltime but it is coming.
The other Sunday we were speaking Dutch.
Well, she was. I was speaking a dialect she called almost understandable.
It is similar to my Welch. Which is unexistant.
But not as good as my French which is perfect written and completely incomprehensible spoken.
This is what comes of lousy diction.

Knowing that I adore clocks my client pointed me to a saying on her wall.
"Zooals het klokje thuis tikt,
Tikt het nergons."

That is such a cute saying.

She reminds me of one I learned a few years ago myself.
"Eigen haard is goud waaard."
(The heart at home is like gold.)
