What to do when there's nothing to do

Ever wondered what happens when older people move into Residential Care (Nursing Home)? Well some of the elderly are lucky enough to have family that care about them, visit them regularly and attend to their needs that crop up from time to time.
But some of our elderly, who just happen to have no family left, or as in some cases have family that do not bother to visit them at all, are just left alone to spend the rest of their lives seperated from the rest of the world and what it has to offer. These people rely on a good hearted nurse to buy their 'bits and pieces' in her/his time off, or any other requirements they might have. So with this in mind, I would say that if anyone is bored and/or lonely then here's the thing . Go visit a nursing home(and there are plenty of them ) and brighten up an elderly persons day. It will be well worth the effort and will be very rewarding for effort put in. As one would be aware, the Nurse-Patient ratio is high, which means that nurses are run off their feet and don't have the time to just sit and talk with these people. So the benefits are two way...to the visitor and the resident. Go visit a Nursing Home today....yaaaayyyy

Thankyou Jetstar

On our recent trip to Tassie we can't speak highly enough of the high level of service Jetstar provided. The cabin crew were really helpful and the Pilot and First Officer displayed skill and expertese in getting the A320 down at Hobart Airport in typical gale force winds coming from the Southern Ocean. (Winds that make it hard for one to stand up mind u). Our youngest was experiencing flight for the first time, and thanks to Jetstar the trip was a joy. So I would recommend Jetstar to anyone anytime. Go Jetstar.

Hmmmmm

Well after being pressured again to blog, here we are . Have been busy,yes this is the reason yet again. With car trouble putting it off the road again (cam shaft and valve lifter) one has to get used to driving 2 different cars yet again. Anyways no need to complain coz it could have been much much worse, and it will be fixed soon. So time taken up with tree pruning, sewing, visitors, bus driving , computer probs.grrrrr and just time consuming STUFF. So the blog has been done again for now. Wanted to put a photo on for a guessing competition but cant crop it so no use putting it on. Well am nearly asleep so will finish up now until next time, Adious.

Hmm the blog has been read

Well when the chookie has come to the end of her life. Life gets tough. One can"t sit on the perch anymore, one can"t get to the bowl in time, one is last to the scraps heap and need I go on. There are still 3 ducks left in the yard, so I can"t understand what the fuss is about. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh History Makers Band is on. .yeeeeeaaaaaaa. "You"re Amazing". A good night at church go to Victory Church Bendigo.
Anyway all good chookies come to an end of a long egg laying life. Fact of life. (With a few fights thrown in by the way) And a few fights in the duck pen would also be avoided if a certain individual was seperated.

Back to the blog 2

Hmm after hounding from another blogger, I will do this post. Even tho I have nt still got time to do it . Time spent on outstanding and urgent jobs is the reason yet again. This time it is:
Fitting cargo screen in wagon, fixing toilet cysten, cleaning up chook yard, cleaning out and rearranging garage, making bible covers, finding nursing home and doctor for elderly parent, fixing fences and chopping more tree branches off. So of course there are still jobs to come, like knocking off 2 redundant chooks(bet that will get a comment) , mowing lawns, etc etc and more sewing to do to(yuk). Well anyway have done the blog and guess will await the comments. And WOW did not see one spider in the garage during the cleanup. Actually I tell a lie, there was one redback and egg, so she is now deceased by boot. So now I can back the car in so that Ican check the oil and water before starting it up. When it is driven in one cant get to the front to check.

Back to the blog

Well I am still alive, and have returned to the blog. Life has been too busy to blog. It's called building fences with the neighbour, buying and FIXING cars, selling cars , getting towers removed, chopping trees, looking after elderly parent, fixing carport with brother, making wheelchair ramp, sending ducks to new homes (yayyyy) and other usual stuff that happens. So hopefully can do the blog thing again on a regular basis. So the xe has gone and the xf has arrived. Sporting a reconditioned motor, new clutch, new battery, washer bottle, reverse light switch and of course the manditory door handle (exclusive regular requirement for ford). So we are almost on the road with only a new kit for the carbruetter, steering lock adjustment and seriously a car that will, I expect last for 10 plus years. Has a bigger motor in it so have to continually watch the speedo. Oh and the cargo screen has to be fitted too. So we are "on the road again"

When a bad fishing trip is better than a good days housework

Well we finally got the boat out of the garage, made it legal equipmentwise, and headed for Port Albert. Pulling the boat and trailer over those Gippsland hills called for second gear and a lot of groaning from the diff. But we got there ok anyway. Got the boat in the water, and then tried to nut out the boyuage system, since some of them were missing. Also nearly got stuck on a sandbar. After freeing the boat off that, I noticed a storm coming with quite a few lightning ground strikes in it. So since it seemed to be coming our way we decided to head for shore. Well by the time we got half way in the storm was upon us and pouring rain. Anyways, we got into shore and headed for the car. After the storm passed an inspection of the boat turned out to be more water in the boat than out , and also while we were sitting out the storm the tide also went out and the boat is aground. So after about another 20minutes we had freed it only to be presented with storm no.2. So we decided to call it a day and go home. All this time everywhere else in Victoria was steeming hot. So like I said , a bad days fishing is always better than a good days housework. He he.
