morning ladies 
More rain!
Gorgeous pics of cats
OHH, your Tatty Cat looks like Raisin, the cat one of my sister-sin-law had many moons ago
Popeye, ambulances don't always take precedence at the Waikato ED
An ambulance officer told us this on one of MrK's recent call outs. They have them stacked up just like the waiting area. It's all triaged on whoever needs the help the most and sadly, that may not be the ambulance. Staff are aware ambulances need to get back 'out there' but they are stymied by lack of staff. MrK waited two hours the other week, but others had been there over six hours. The nurse who triaged him said it was all about need.
A report on elderly care in rest homes is about to be released in Parliament. There is nothing in the report we don't already know. I doubt the government will do much though. After all, didn't Luxon once say he 'was sorted'.

There was no point cleaning the BBQ, it has rusted in places so I'm going to dismantle it and sell it for scrap. MrK agrees so when the weather clears, I'll make a start. I'll be a bit slower than he would be but that's OK. No hurry. I'll start by taking in all the innards and racks along with some other scrap metal in the pump shed. And I'll need to find the CRC to spray some of the bolts. I also need to find a box to put some truck mechanical manuals in so they can be given away. Our local automotive engineer said he can use them. I'm finding it hard to be motivated. It's nothing MrK and I haven't talked about doing over the winter months, long before all of this. It's that bl**dy waiting time, or limbo, not knowing what's what.
Back to see MrK today and fingers crossed I catch our GP this time. We (I) wrote some questions for MrK to ask her if I'm not there. I have an appointment to see her next week anyway.
Enjoy your day
