And what great timing - in your preteen years. Ouch!
But I couldn't help but jump into the door you've opened.  Diane refers to you as a "he", and I thought you were a "she". (Not that there's anything wrong with either)

Since Oui doesn't seem to be around today, I thought I would answer, Oui, is a he.

That is what he told me (in email)and he put his name on one diary and it is a male name, I won't say the name, he must tell you himself.

Don't worry - I have no interest in anyone's personal identities.

Good night! And I really should mean it this time, lest I do something stupid on that looong path out the door - which. . .I do believe has been known to happen somewhere along the line :^)

I had given it away: Adrian aka new creve coeur

Adrian is used in the states as both male and female name. In the Netherlands it's 100% boy's name in some variety: Aad, Aat, Arie, Adrie, Adriaan.

Baptism name is Adrianus - most likely named after only Dutch pope Adrianus VI or Adrian VI.

Had to perform civic duty yesterday evening, an information hearing with city of The Hague mayor Wim Deetman, before a neighborhood crowd of some 550 fellow residents. Topic of discussion and protest is the city proposal to sell 10 acres of historic and beautiful Clingendael park to the United States of America, to build new US embassy. I put in my €0.02 worth.

Will provide follow-up later today in linked diary. I was neutral before, but two days ago I read proposal to city council, after which I had to conclude I am very much opposed now! So are at least 15,000 local residents in this neighborhood.
