Popeye make sure you take time out for you - because when it all boils down to it Mr Ps Destiny is in the hands of the rest home and hospital bureaucrats .They have a list of criteria that a rest home can use to move you on - will never forget when Mum broke her hip - she was 100 but demanded they operate she wasn’t going to be stuck in her bed - anyway she recovered quickly but the ACC and the hospital bureaucrats decided the rest home didn’t have the care standards she needed - we were all called to a meeting - there were people from the DHB and ACC and the rest home management - but Mums bed was empty - my sister and I and the manager couldn’t hide our smiles - about 10 minutes after the meeting was to start Mum came whizzing down the corridor in her wheel chair - wheeling herself grinning from ear to ear pretending she had forgotten - the manager of the rest home turned and walked out of the room and said to the bureaucrats she rested her case - they slunk out looking very sheepish .The Manager of Mr Ps resthome is probably using those criteria to refuse to have Mr P back - try not to sweat the small stuff - Winz will sort the money out if they have over paid as long as you aren’t out of pocket
My daughter in law has covid so our small family Xmas dinner is cancelled - we had split the day in two - the younger ones will still go out to the big gathering - except of course the family who are positive - but the evening one which included my generation is on hold - it’s not worth the risk - my DIL is in her early 40s - it’s the third time she has had it - she works in child welfare - this time she is really sick I certainly don’t want this strain .My neighbours on both sides are going to be home as well .The family who aren’t isolating will call in - no doubt with some edible goodies .I see Pam’s Xmas mince pies won the best mince pie competition - they are nice the pastry is really buttery sometimes they are so dry .China cancelled a huge lamb order so lamb should be cheap everywhere this Xmas
Pleased your new feline friend settled in OHH
My sister who lives south of Napier just sent me a recording of the rain pouring off her roof - sounded like she was at Huka falls - she lives alone way out in the sticks - bit of a worry .Feel sorry for the berry and cherry growers that are out her way - the heavy rain couldn’t have come at a worse time
