Morning everyone
Its sunny here for now.
Awesome re MrK's eye Kiwimade. Technology is so good these days. So much they can do but a lot they still cant.
I got half the edges and weeds sprayed yesterday. Not something I normally do cos I dont like seeing the yellow edges, but with timber fences all around they're not easy to get tidy. And oddly I like my lawn to look professionally done. That was what people used to tell me when I had a lawn mowing business, that they liked I took such care, and it stuck with me. My stepfather taught me to do a good job.
Off to see MrP this morning. I did pop in quickly yesterday , I couldn't wait to see the photos from Fridays visit.
Visited my ladies yesterday. One is not well with a horrible cough, Bobbie was snappy, but I dont blame her they gave her lunch then told her it was time to weigh her. First time I've heard her snap at anyone. And Colleen is just very unsettled and disappointed with how things are there.
In the foyer they had a board of photos that initially I thought were historical photos of Māori, being related to Waitangi day. Then I realized one of them was young Peter as we call him. And then I looked more closely to discover they were all inmates there. Dressed up in cloaks and greenstone and even with Mokos drawn on the Ladies.
I surprised myself cos I felt it was Offensive and disgusting. With Mockery in there. No doubt some of them didn't have a clue that it could be seen that way. But I was surprised at how it made me feel. And knowing the two activity ladies I can imagine them laughing and giggling at what they had done.
I spoke to a local Māori artist here last night and he said yes for him it was wrong and many of the elders would feel the same. But sadly a lot of the new generations just dont care anymore.
It just feels wrong in some way .
Will be a quiet day once I get home, Im sore. Rang to make a drs and Nurse appointment. Closest Dr one I could get with My dr is the 20th. But Im willing to wait. Will get my B12 on Thursday so hopefully that will help lift me up again. I feel worn out lol.
Have a fab day all
