Good news as far as it can be. More prayer needed with large menagerie at your place and the wind down from the last few days for your mum.

Mum's here, but all but one bird, and the two cats had to be left behind. She has left plenty of food for them, but that is all that she could do. She has the two dogs, and Dad's bird here. We're hoping the others are ok until the water is down and we can get back to them.

Feeling pretty disoriented here after a different kind of disaster out of the blue.
Took the Grandad in to A & E yesterday after breakfast. Sat with him all day while he bled from below and they assured us it could be diverticuae and often comes right without intervention. At 10 pm the surgeon phoned to say his blood pressure was getting dangerously low and the bleeding showed no sign of stopping so they were operating; at 2.30 am he called to say they'd had to remove the large bowel.
And no previous trouble at all.
Son is on his way home from a tramping trip (Waitangi Day today: long weekend) to come to the hospital with me – I really need him, feeling shaky and disoriented.
Only the previous evening the Grandad had taken delivery of a 'new' MacBook Pro and had his files transferred by the previous owner – he would have spent yesterday getting to know it.
We could do with lots of prayers!

The week before last, Rosie and I were privileged to be invited to the powhiri (welcome) for the toi moko (Maori tattoed heads) that were returning from France. We were part of the returning party, and walking up the outside stairs of Te Papa at 7.30am, it was truly awe-inspiring to hear the haka from around 80 members of Tainui and Te Ati Awa. This wasn't a staged performance, it was a raw mass of sound and emotion.
It didn't occur to me until yesterday that not one single person was wearing any sort of traditional costume, not even a cloak (unless you consider suits and ties the traditional costume of Wellingtonians).
The powhiri some amusing and dramatic moments - particularly when one of the Tainui speakers took the opportunity to have a go at Te Papa, followed by the speaker from Te Papa having a go right back. My reo (Maori language) wasn't quite strong enough to follow it all, but fortunately we were sitting near the French ambassador's wife, who had a translator.
I felt proud to be a New Zealander that morning.

A little light relief for a moment.
Just had a visit from a fellow trying to persuade me to switch gas and electricity suppliers with a bigger discount. Asked if I had any Centrelink benefits as there was a discount for that too which I already get.
Whipped out iPhone, called up Evernote and had all details at the ready. Have paper copies filed but Evernote is so handy.
Bus driver once laughed when I asked for a concession while holding iPhone. He'd never seen that before. He wasn't being rude, just surprised. Apparently all on any benefits are old, doddering and incompetent as far as technology goes.
Still praying for flood victims, especially your Mum, Athrawes, and also spent some time praying for Galloping Granny and Grandad. What a nasty shock ! No wonder you feel disoriented. Prayers for his recovery too.

Good news, Huia. Been there done that with ex-MIL who refused to sign papers despite being obviously incapable of caring for herself. Dislocating hip three times in three days finally convinced her. Do something for yourself now.

Good to see you Arabella! There was always something rather nasty and degrading about what amounted to human stamp collecting in the name of science (and yes, I am aware of the anthropological studies arguments). Great to see the involuntary wanderers welcomed home!

Get well soon Grandad!

Esprit d'escalier – oops! Can it really be translated in two words? It's the smart remark you think of too late – Why didn't I tell her I do most of my money business on-line?
I don't believe I look that decrepit – ask Arabella.

No you most certainly do not!
I had to take my mum into the bank after her stroke. She really was looking the picture of shaky old lady and the young woman behind the counter went all out to be helpful in ways that Mum smiled at. What she really would have appreciated was the opportunity to sit and transact her business, but that was the only thing not offered.

The French ambassador made an excellent speech on this theme, finishing off with the hope that the toi moko were bringing home some extra skills that might be useful to the repatriation team, namely, they had all learned French. I don't know whether he had written his speech himself, but he caught the atmosphere of the occasion very well, particularly as regards making a joke like this.

Do you remember the episode of Yes Minister where they had a brand new hospital, fully equipped and staffed but no patients as they would make things messy.
I got in bus this morning with the correct fare in my hot little hand and asked for ticket.
"Siddown," was the reply. " haven't got the time to fuss with tickets."
I didn't gain anything as one ticket covers multiple journeys on any one day and obviously I had to pay on way back.

The sad thing about that episode is that it is a true story. When I lived in London it was reported that a certain hospital was the most efficient in London--it had no medical staff or patients, only administrators!

GG. you definitely don't look old or and your technological skills are far better than mine. I dithered about what I was doing at a bank in Nelson and the teller just said, "oh, you're from Christchurch" - which summed up the reason very well.
Hats off to the French Ambassador ( and his advisors). In such situations I wish I knew Maori as the humour in korero (speeches) is often very apt.
There was a high status woman from a tribe where such members were allowed to speak on the marae. She spoke, and when the hosts tried to shout her down (as it was against their protocol ) she turned her back and lifted her skirt at them - a grave insult - and they withdrew, offended.
When she died people from the tribe that had been offended came to her tangi (funeral) and in the speech addressing the coffin said words to the effect of - You were a dreadful woman, you spoke on our marae which insulted us and we're glad you're dead. - Initially the woman's family were set for a punchup over this, but the elders said that this was one of the greatest compliments she could have been paid. as it acknowledged her power in the situation.
Athrawes, anything new on your mother and the floods?

sorry, all, I've been a bit sidetracked. Mum's here. She had to leave animals at home, but has made arrangements that as soon as the water is low enough, friends nearby are going to go in and check on them.
I took her down to Centrelink today to sort out stuff, and she just broke down - I think it just all became too much. She's ok again now that all the government stuff and registration is sorted out.
The doglet is not a happy doglet. There are *large, huge, ginormous, hairy DOGS* in her yard! The fact that one of them qualifies for a wheelie-walker and she knows the other one makes no difference. A small nose is out of joint, and she's trying to make us all feel guilty. Yellow Bird is very happy: this is a good motel, which serves steamed broccoli. He will come again. Mum is raiding my bookshelves. Things could be a lot worse. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Just sitting in Cairns airport atm, having spent the last week clearing up my Aunt's retirement unit and trying to get her affairs sorted out in a nursing home, I don't know how people cope who don't have relatives to intercede for them, aged care is a morass of rules and payments etc etc.

Yes, I spent some of today sorting out stuff for an aged parent, too.
And collecting a new car. Our first Holden, which has promptly been christened Bruce. B4 gets her new car on Thursday.
The technology in the new one had me completely foxed - until I picked B4 up from work. She didn't need to refer to the manual. "Oh, this works like THIS," she said, regarding the side window automated adjustor, "and you connect your iphone like THIS", she said, giving all the voice commands needed for hands free. "Anything else you want to know?"
"How did you know that?" I asked. She shrugged. "It's a no-brainer for Gen Y's and Millenials, she commented. The technology pretty much follows how we would automatically think it should be done."

Ah yes, and she has worked out how to exploit the Golden Arches.
Apparently there is a deal on where if you order a burger at a certain time of the day, you get it for one dollar. Being a vegetarian, she orders the burger but minus the beef pattie. The ordering system subtracts 90 cents from the price, because that is the value of the pattie. Voila, lunch for ten cents!
Gosh, she is her father's daughter....

I get heavier and bulky grocery items delivered from Colesworths because none of those shops in local area do home delivery from a personal shop anymore.
I fancied rockmelon and was planning on a bit more fruit to tide me over till fruit and veg box delivery next Tuesday.
Had ordered one rockmelon with idea of cutting it when it arrived and storing in fridge. Cost $3.98. Then I saw that half rockmelon was 0.93 cents each. Ordered two and now have two big halves on bench waiting for me to deal with. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

The worst effects of the flooding so far in my life are:
1) The Mozzies
2) The fast growing grass
3) The mozzies that live in black swarms in the long grass
4) The crook back I got mowing the damned lawn to exile the wretched mozzies
5) the bloody mozzies.
6) Did I mention the mozzies?

When we had 40 acres at Wollombi near Cessnock we used to say we had the biggest mozzies known. Huge with legs well over a centimetre long. How they existed when we were not there was another question.
We really hoped that someday those battery operated swatters like small tennis racquets would become legal here. They still aren't.
Lavender oil works and smell better than most repellents but you may not want to smell like a field of lavender.

Eating vegemite is supposed to discourage biting insects. it's something to do with one of the vitamin B group.

For some people, eating garlic or taking garlic pills makes them less attractive to blood-sucking insects.
When I lived in New Hampshire, the mosquitoes and blackflies chewed me to pieces until I started taking garlic pills. After that, I was bitten much less frequently.

I think one of my two favourite buildings is being demolished ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif) It had had bracing around it, so I though it might be saved, but it seems not. My second favorite has the same kind of bracing, so I'm not holding my breath...
Some more houses were red-zoned today too, which means they will be demolished and the land not rebuilt on.
Also, due to the oxidation ponds being shallower (quakes thrust the bottom higher) hundreds of birds are dying of an avian botulism .
Damn - grief just goes on and on.
On the plus side, the audiologist turned up my favourite hearing aids today - so I'll be back wearing the purple rather than the boring grey ones. And Dad seems happy in Care

I have heard it said that the best way to eat a mango is to smear it on your partner and then lick it off - perhaps doing that with Marmite™ and garlic paste would be fun, too!
