I've been slightly distracted by some New Zealand P40s




... and some C18 buildings that I just founds ...

... and some Korean War British Commandos (which are terrific, by the way.)

Just to add to your distraction there is a restored P40 at the Wigram Air Force Museum ;)

I hear the sound of ambulance sirens.

You can guess who for....She was VERY lucky I heard her, as she couldn't reach either of the alarm buttons, had her face down into the carpet..... and had her telly up at 110 Db.

Whenever you believe you can't get any more stressed !! X_X

Cheers - Mr Unraveling very quickly.

I feel your pain Techno......

My mother is in her mid 80's but still lives independently, but she's getting a bit shaky on her feet. Over Christmas I rang her and she must have slipped over when she went to answer the phone. She has a alarm but couldn't reach it though I could hear her moving around. Trouble is she lives in Auckland, about 650km north of me so I ended up ringing 111 and having to get the St John's Ambos to go round and gain access to her apartment. Sure enough she had fallen over and was carted off to the local hospital. Luckily she has recovered fairly well but all the same a bit stressful for the family.
