A new footpath..

John's been advocating with the Council for a footpath for years! This week the work actually started! The earth was dug out by this little machine then boxing is put in to be filled with concrete. John counts the minutes they have off for morning 'smoko' lunch and afternoon breaks. Nobody seems to complain if they take over 1/2 hour or more.
On an additional note, we are both sick - caught a lung infection somehow which hit us like a hurricane. Doctors visits and antibiotics will help.

[Dianne]

Oh no - there's so many bugs around - get those antibiotics into you and rest up!

Must be whats all councils are doing at the moment.. new ones in our town and went through a neighbouring town today and new footpaths there as well. Yes flu been through our house FG had to have antiB's as well.

@julzmaioro Interesting to learn this - maybe an order goes through all the Councils as an advice! It is a lot of work!

[Maggiemae]

@dide Thanks - we are resting up - having a 90 year old hubby, I have to be full of care!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Sorry to hear you and John are not well - keep popping the pills ,and rest for a fast recovery ! Good re having footpaths !!

[Maggiemae]

@beryl Popping pills non-stop, Beryl - pain killers, antibiotics, the usual pills - 3X day, calcium pills, stomach pills, evening pills - goodness!

[Casablanca]

Whoo hoo, delighted the work has begun. Sorry you are both poorly though. Wishing you both speedily well

[haskar]

I'm so sorry you're both sick. I wish you a speedy recovery. I am glad that they are building a path for you, it makes walking much easier and encourages you to be active.

[Maggiemae]

@haskar Thank you for your kind wishes - being strong normally and happy, I expect we will - only 3 days into it. I agree that footpaths encourage walkers. We watch lots of people trudging past on the lawn berms!

[Joan Robillard]

You must be happy

[Brian]

🙏🏻for you and John to rest and fully recover.

[Lou Ann]

So great to have the council’s ear. Bravo John! Hmmm interesting illness. Bronchitis and pneumonia are not contagious so I can’t imagine what you two have, so sorry.

[Kerry McCarthy]

So sorry to hear you and John are sick. Hope the meds kick in quickly!

[Diana]

So sorry to hear that you are both not well! Sending positive healing thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[katy]

so good that you are able to take such an interesting photo from your home since you are sick! I hate to hear that both of you are sick at the same time and hope you both get well soon

[Pat Knowles]

So sorry you’re ill maggie…hope the tablets help. Takes a bit longer when you get older to perk up! Over 1/2 hour…wow that’s a quick break…..John is in the ball!

[Rob Z]

Such a satisfying sight to see from your home.

[Maggiemae]

@louannwarren Its a lung infection caught from droplets of someone who has it, Lou Ann. From there it can develop into pneumonia etc. Bacterial and viral pneumonia are infectious but pneumonia caused by fungi is not.

[Maggiemae]

@happypat 35 mins for morning smoko, Pat? Lunch is well over an hour!

[Harry J Benson]

It will be a pleasant walk when it is done. Rest and get well

[Maggiemae]

Thank you Harry - can't be soon enough! The good thing about a footpath is you don't get wet feet.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh good. Hope it's finished soon!

[Maggiemae]

@jamibann It's nice and easy to answer to 365 friends - talking not so easy and the rest - we'll just wait and be patient. The street is closed till early July!

[Lou Ann]

@maggiemae thank you! Jerry gets allergy induced bronchitis that goes to pneumonia if we don’t get him to the doctor in a timely fashion. So my knowledge of those two illnesses is limited. Based on your description he gets fungi pneumonia!
