This is in the field opposite to us. I noticed their bright orange clothing first against the dark background. The guy in front was pushing something that looked like a lawn mower. Found out from hubby and the parked vehicles with names, that they were searching for underground pipes and cables.
Later - about 5pm and almost in the dark, another machine appeared here and was obviously putting a pipe down to retrieve a core of earth to examine. Now this means that the St John's new building position has been shifted from further down our road to opposite us! Something about not being allowed to have the ambulance exit on to a nearby main road.
Thinking good - if something happens to either of us, we can just walk across the road and say, "Hey, are you guys busy?"
Very nice image. Both person's clothings stand out over the dark background. Wishing you the best but things happen very often at unexpected and unwanted times.
Well that’s a very grown up way of looking at it! You’re right if course having any medical facility near is very advantageous! I’m sure it’s far enough across the road not to impinge!
@rensala Watch this space, Renee! For some time - it takes years to get the right documents etc and Oamaru's builders are all busy building new subdivisions!
We lived across from a railroad track in NJ. We got so used to the sound of the whistle and the train coming through we'd sleep through the times it came by at night. I hope that happens with sirens and such. But thankfully, like Rome, this hospital won't be built in a day.
