Apparently Im not allowed to see the other ladies, Only Bobbie.. I asked was it a jail? Clearly that wasn't appreciated.

So, it was pointed out that I had  "Been Told" that I was to only visit Bobbie and in her room. I was bringing in too much negative stuff..  Ohh dear.. I said No one has told me that.

And what Set it off you may ask?  when I saw their Lunch I said "Oh chicken again"... had they bothered to ask what I meant, before they decided to occupy my throat I would have said I had just left MrP and he too had chicken.

Turns out the nearly top person was meant to have told me I could only visit Bobbie. Which hasnt happened. The manager of course wasnt there she is on Holiday Again.

So it hit the fan... They obviously dont know that one of Irenes daughters was there is a legal woman. She listens very well. When there was a lull in the proceedings she told me to get them to put things in writing.. which I did lol.

Will it stop me from going up.. NO WAY.. and I have slipped my number to Colleen they brought her to tears.. but of course it was all my fault.. It was my hand she was holding when she got upset. And they are over speaking her and wouldn't let her say what she wanted to say.

So I have contacted the area manager and asked her to ring me. So she can hear my side..

BUT if there are restrictions that I cannot see the others then I WILL go to the media.. And I will put that in writing.

Its not a jail and humans need friends and fellowship.

On the Plus side, Missys Kisses have arrived and they passed her Parcel Cat Scan..

And OMG I need to get some sunglasses. The trees are just about all gone. Its going to get very hot with the afternoon sun all day. They are just tidying up the lower trunks. Ive seen parts of the house over the back that Id never seen before lol.

I spoke to Bobbie and said I will carry on trying to see her, but that if they dont pull their heads in I will go to the media and then they will no doubt Trespass me.

On the Plus Side MrP and Bobbie are both good.. Bobbie has had her hair cut, its going to take some getting used to. And MrP was in a  Jovial mood. I was talking to Ralphs Neice, we lived in some of the same places.. He will be 100 in January. I do hope he makes it, but he is very old and frail.

MrP asked him what was the tip for living a long life.. Apparently Ralph said, Stay away from women lol.... Bit that for that MrP lol

Had my first chance today to actually talk to my sister - when she was talking to me on the day she only had a little bit of surface water down in the sheep paddock - within ten minutes she was waist deep - she is 77 with these two great big lumbering dogs who didn’t want to swim - a man from the local marae saved her - they were 3 days hearing helicopters going overhead but of course nobody knew they were there - by the time somebody swam out to alert the helicopter it was gone - her granddaughter from Bulls finally got the police to send the army in - I contacted the police twice but they were swamped .She is having real difficulty dealing with losing all her previous memorabilia that belonged to a Mum and her daughter who was killed - she will stay down at Bulls for a while and then make some decisions
We have all had a bit of a chuckle some friends of ours had a very acrimonious marriage break up - she was awarded an empty block of cropping land on one side of the road and he got the house on the other side of the road - he died a year or two ago and left the house to some obscure charity who have done absolutely nothing with it - the flood picked the house up took it across the road and dumped it on her land - if he is up there looking down he will be furious
Robie brought me a piece of Banana cake which they sell - it is made by Original foods from CHCH - it’s better than mine and I reckon I make a great banana cake - only ate half and the other half is looking very appealing
