Oh we know that powerless feeling, amazing how often younger folk seem to think they know best. And how shocked they are when presented by a stroppy older person who obviously knows more than they do, lol. It is one of the choices that come with getting to be a senior. Do we stand up for ourselves, or just let it go for the sake of a peaceful life?
Cool but breezy here, funny how fast it has changed from hot and sticky, almost as if someone has pushed a switch. Housewashing contractors arrive tomorrow so we have to move things for them and put towels down everywhere because those jets find every tiny gap, and the bathroom windows are louvres which means wet floors and toilet seats no matter how careful they are. Then on Tuesday we have the fire brigade arriving to lecture us on how not to burn down our units, again - don't know whether that's just because two of our lot have tried it already, or if the powers that be just like to repeat the exercise every few months. I will be avoiding that event, despite the fact I think the fire brigade are angels in big boots, I just dislike that patronising effort that is the other aspect to being told what to do.
And our ancient neighbour still hasn't been returned to sender, so we are more positive about her maybe getting that assessment she needs. Fingers crossed. Or maybe its just because the geriatric team don't work weekends...
