Too painful.

Subject: explanatory email plus bonus weekly dept newsletter (note for blog – the newsletter is not attached for you – I haven’t attached it because it’s huge and it’s not mine and it’s not particularly interesting for anyone else. But this is the departmental newsletter which I took over editing duties for a few years later.)
Hi All,
Third week of the anaesthetic department weekly newsletter, and no sign of it slowing down. This is excellent stuff, and reduces the burden on Chris and me (?I ?myself) of keeping everyone up to date on local happenings – which was always tough, considering I’m usually the last to know whatever’s going on around here. Ironically I did know that Tom L had a newish baby, but that didn’t stop me ringing him at some ungodly hour yesterday morning, having been fed the completely erroneous information that he was going to be my tech for the day by some radiographers down in angio. Sorry again, Tom, and thanks for taking it so well.
The next time I send out my explanatory email, I’m hoping we will have the first female American President elect, and Donald Trump will have been reduced to an embarrassing footnote in history. Fingers crossed that he can take some of those Republican dinosaurs with him. In the meantime, on the domestic front, my house in Karori is finally on the market. Lukewarm interest so far. First open home on Sunday. I’m hoping for something more successful than the one we had in Island Bay a few years ago, which was entirely made up of nosey neighbours, apart from one particularly objectionable lady who spent the entire time saying loudly that the GV was far too high, and there was no way the house was worth that much. In the end she was right – but it was still a hurtful thing to say. Island Bay has been on the up and up since we left – coincidental I’m sure – with whales, orcas, mayors and cycle ways. I wonder if the same effect will happen in Karori? Anyway, my children are poised to transform the house into it’s traditional Halloween splendour as soon as the crowds have shuffled off into the distance. Next year we’ll be across the road from a graveyard on Halloween – so authentic!

Saturday
Spare a thought for those working today, and take care with your fireworks.
Cheers, hasta luego,
Kirsty.
