I let a self-sown clover plant grow and mature in my vege-garden and the result is very different from the clover you mostly see in a lawn or paddock.
Remember me & my photos?
I disappeared from the beginning of November but am now about 50% back to normal and hope to get out taking photos again. Where did I disappear to? Well, I was in intense pain and the cause of the pain was totally mis-diagnosed by a doctor. The result? I spent a … View moreRemember me & my photos?
I disappeared from the beginning of November but am now about 50% back to normal and hope to get out taking photos again. Where did I disappear to? Well, I was in intense pain and the cause of the pain was totally mis-diagnosed by a doctor. The result? I spent a month with very little sleep, little food and could not lie down to rest or sleep. I lost 12 kilograms. Then came the rescue. On arriving at Palmerston North hospital the real cause of my problem was diagnosed within an hour. I then spent 8 days being treated by the respiratory specialists for an infection in my lungs . They have my deep gratitude and admiration for their speedy diagnosis, treatment and long-term support. I won’t mention what I think about the doctor who told me I had torn a muscle in my back, just that as a result of his diagnosis the infection had a free month to enjoy unrestricted growth in my lungs.

Sound familiar? We heard a lot about curbing public spending in the lead up to the last election. Unfortunately, the austerity measures haven't stopped there. As we come to the end of the government's anti-Labour 100 day rampage (arguably the biggest waste of public money I have seen in a long time), prices in the supermarket continue to rise, week on week, despite claims that inflation is easing.
(Well.... it might be, but greedflation is still rampant). We find we are in for more expense for car registration, road user charges have been introduced for electric vehicles and schools will be eating into their operating budgets (literally) to feed hungry children. A UN expert in the UK recently stated that austerity policies were directly linked to a rise in poverty. No surprises there either.
But isn't it ironic that, as a direct result of cancelling all road maintenance during the last round of RONS, the National government is now introducing a special dedicated "pot hole fund" Monty Python couldn't have done it better. Will we be shortly forced to eat hot gravel?
But all is not lost. Despite my Superannuation being cut by $30 this week, for no apparent reason, there's an outside chance I might get it back in the annual CPI adjustment (something the government is legislatively required to do fortunately) And apparently we are still in line for a tax cut sometime in the near future. When is it Tricola? We wait in hope.......
