Well I'm back but this is the next day, that hospital visit took all day yesterday only going to take a couple of hours but not to be, a few urgent cases not on the list sent the whole thing into confusion but I had a good book and a nice lady to talk to so not so bad, the TV was working not loud enough to hear very well but it was Ellen so maybe better that way it was a Mothers day show and the audience was all women just about to give birth, boy does she give away a lot of stuff. ..........
The thing that got me was they shut the waiting room at 3 oclock and we had to sit and wait outside there were seats and it was fine but no one turned the tv off what a waste always talking about how broke the the government is and this was a public hospital many savings could be found but not interested in small things better to sack lots of staff thats how they think, lots of doctors milling around not many nurses maybe they are to busy, anyway all went well and he is off to NZ in a few days.
I spent the week end at my daughters house we put the cots together and the single bed they only have a small house most of the houses close to the city are small but it will be a tight fit with two extra but very cosy, they have most of their stuff ready now pity we didn't have a Ellen show they would have got all their stuff for free, babies are a expensive business.
That's about all the news except my son and daughter in law are in Alaska or maybe New York by now and so is my niece and her husband, it's cold here but I would say summer in Alaska would be about the same as our winter, but the days would be much longer
Just a few photos I took during the last few weeks.
That's it only took two photos in the last two weeks, I have been lazy.
Not sure about Alaska, but Canada can get very hot, as we discovered. Cooler a bit north in Alaska, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteIt is a popular place so must be ok temp wise will get a report about it when they arrive home I guess, is it north I thought it was just tacked on the side of Canada.

We have had problems with our internet too Merle we are on satellite out here and it's good when it works ! I agree with you re the public health service reducing nursing staff shouldn't be where the savings are made.
ReplyDeleteMore on the news about the mistakes made in other hospitals last night it's a real can of worms at the moment.
DeleteMerle...............
Love your photos. Glad that Bo Peep is ok.
ReplyDeleteAlaska is somewhere I would love to see.
Sigh on the cuts front. They are never in sensible areas.
Funny never had a urge to go to Alaska but it is never in the news so don't know much about it but do know it's very cold but it must be pretty peaceful compared to the rest of the world.

Good to hear your son is okay. Putting cots together is fun, then adding the sheets and cot blankets, imagining the babies in them; I loved that part.
ReplyDeleteA few things missing, two attachments that the side rail goes up and down, other than that all ok.

Crikey Merle .... We're not too computer savvy here either. We've had a bad week with Telstra. Mum was on the phone to them for hours today. Her mood is VERY BLACK! Getting ready for the bubs ... How exciting. How much longer to go??? I like your photos!
ReplyDeleteI don't blame her my mood my mood is a bit muddy too but now if it doesn't work I just shut up shop and leave it for a few days nice to have a break now and again.
DeleteAbout 10 weeks I think it has gone very quickly.

ReplyDeleteGood to see you back with is mate! Trust me, I understand that teeth-grinding frustration with the wobble-webbles. I gather the internet was actually there, just not blogger - which is to do with Google and it is likely that they were doing some updating which can throw things about a bit. Anyway, seems that life is trundling along nicely - preps for bubs are always heart-warming; glad the hospital visit was an 'all clear', albeit a lengthy one. All's I can say is the Scottish summer is certainly equal to the Sydney winter... sigh... YAM xx
Yes no real trouble with twitter and facebook they were just slow but the blog would come up then freeze so I did miss a fair bit in the last two weeks but all is ok now.
DeleteRain and dull skies today you must miss our hot steamy summers I do complain about them but my back and joints do like them better than these cold damp days.
Merle...........
...yes I do rather... the folks in America could't believe I was actually enjoying the humidity there! Here at the moment I am wrapped up and look a bit like the pig in your next post... Yxx
DeleteWhat fun, preparing for babies. There will be a lot of lost sleep, with two!
ReplyDeleteYou could be right about the loss of sleep many naps in the daytime maybe.

Hello, It would have been nice for your daughter to get on the Ellen show for the giveaways. Buying for two I am sure is super expensive. I have been to Alaska during a heat wave, it was in the 90's. I hope you are having better luck with your internet now. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLong way to go to get on the Ellen show but she has most things now.
DeleteWow in the 90's now that's hot not what I would have expected in Alaska but that would not happen so much I expect.

Sounds like you're handling it in your usual great fashion

Gosh Merle, you have had a time of it. So hope things will get better and you will be back on board soon. All straightened out now? Take good care. Susan
ReplyDeleteNo it's got worse can't go the normal way so have tried something new.

Hospital waits are always so stressful - hurry up and wait. Glad that all turned out well. Wouldn't it be nice to win something.....Once, I won a doll at a raffle, but it had to be sewn together. Story of my life. Yes, babies are expensive little things. You must be getting excited! xx K
ReplyDeleteThat's tough not all finished , it is like winning a cake and the give you a egg and some flour.
