Elections, hospitals and bush removal

Well, the parliamentary elections are over and now we just have to wait until the specials and overseas votes are counted. We won't have a final result until later in the month so it's a waiting game. I'm very surprised at a couple who have lost their seats and not so surprised at one or two others. It's been a really closely run race and nothing is set in concrete yet. Apparently numbers are down on voting this year, which is a shame. I think women especially should get out and vote if only to honour the women who fought and, in some cases died, so that women could have the privilege. 

On another note, Jacqui's partner came over at the weekend and removed a bush from along the fenceline. Hopefully he's coming back sometime to cut them all down, they've become too much for Bob to manage now. But I'm not sure when as he lives a hundred k's or more from here.

 

It looks like it might be one bush per visit as this one pretty much filled the deck of the ute. He carts it all back to his property in the country and disposes of it there. 

Even just removing the one has made quite a gap. I knew the bushes were getting big but didn't realise how much room they were taking up.

Now I should probably go and put the lawn furniture back where it came from :) I was in at the hospital for a pre op for the second cataract op I'm having yesterday and haven't got round to it yet. Was catching up on housework today. That's my excuse anyway :)

And this is a picture of the new hospital build taken from the waiting room of the new outpatients where I had my appointment. It's so good to be getting a new hospital even if it is scaled back from the original plan. One of my grandsons was a gibstopper on the outpatients build and one  grand daughter's husband is helping with this build.

 And I think I'll leave it there.
