Hi,

>From wim verdoold
wkv at home.nl      about counting time by saying "day and night...."  In
Genesis one in the bible the time is counted like that. ,
And our for fathers counted the days in nights of sleep. In fact we
still do when talking to our children...one more night till
Sinterklaas!...
So it's rather normal to  use that line
I hope this added something..

Moi!

Wim.
