It's braggin time

okay, I'm going to unashamedly brag here .  Some of you may have noticed in my Trans Tasman Rivalry blog that there was a picture of my sister playing cricket in her Auckland Hearts uniform.  Well my sister has just been selected to captain the New Zealand Ateam and to play in the White Ferns (NZs national team) against England.

Woot Woot, I'm so proud of her.   She has worked really hard for a long time to get there.  The NZ Women's cricket team are payed pittance so she won't be 'professional' in the sense that its her day job but will be in the sense that she will play at the top level.

Thanks everybody for the continued support regarding my dad - he is undergoing the operation at the moment, so I am feeling a little nervous but still positive too.

I rang my 2nd mum this morning to see how she was doing - she is like me, nervous but okay.  However, she told me that yesterday the rest home that her mother (who has dementia) is in - took her out to sit in the sun and forgot about her - leaving her there - WTF.  She is so badly burnt on one arm and leg that the sunburn has blistered.   Her mother can't move (because of a fall, also in the care of this resthome) and can't call out.    They didn't even call and let my 2nd mum know what had happened.   Grrrrrrrrrr.   As if she needs that to worry about aswell.
