Yep, agreed - our nurses & other health professionals really should be paid more & have improved working conditions. Oddly enough a friend & I were discussing this earlier today; I said the govt really should ask nurses & Drs in hospitals what they actually need & damn well act on that; give them better wages, conditions, consult them on stuff like hospital layout when building is being done.
There was almost a tragic massacre in the garden earlier. I was about to let Madame Le Dog out before feeding her when I noticed movement out there so went to investigate.
Found a duck with her 6-7 ducklings foraging in the back yard. Oh joy! Had to gently & very slowly shepherd them towards the gate which I'd opened for them; Mumma duck letting me know not to get too close all the while. It took a while but managed to get them down the path & shut gate behind them - I've no idea how the devil they got in but will need to keep an eye on things in future, in case word gets around among the duck population.
Madame le Dog isn't best pleased with the human.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
