Neighbourhood feeling collectively pleased with ourselves this afternoon - for about 6 weeks we have seen an Abyssinian cross cat with its collar under its front leg - the owner has been frantically trying to find her but it has been a mission -lucky she stayed around the creek behind us - finally today she took the bait thanks to Pam’s tuna in the trap -she has been to the vet lucky the collar was not tight and there has been no lasting damage - she was a long way from home must have panicked when the collar slipped -
The politicians and academics who are arguing we aren’t failing our kids with maths should spend a day in the real world - Winz send job seekers who are supposedly job ready for entry jobs at the supermarket - the system tells them they need 40 bottles to fill a shelf but the stock comes in boxes of 12 - they have no idea how to work out how many boxes they need to tell the system to put on their trolley - or if somebody pays with coins or notes and wants change - many can’t read - one yesterday couldn’t read the yoghurt flavours had to look at the pictures - that’s not uncommon - rant over ,Won’t start on all the kids and Mums wanting to rejoin the workforce who were able to go out to the polytechnic before Hipkins restructure and be brought up to speed in IT - my sister who would normally have 90 students has 1 - she was made redundant at the beginning of the restructure then hired again for 1 student
Invited my grandson for dinner - is home from uni for a break - turned me down when I told him beef cheek casserole is on the menu - could have been worse could have been oxtail
