Spring is coming?

Yesterday I was in Mina 1 Mai, checked the dispensary, been at the school, at the flat and hospital. They are waiting for the guests, and all has been fine. The central heating system is finished, in fact now John the painter is decorating the room of the doctors.
Up in the flat all was OK, put some things in the fridge and turned it on.
The plan is that Thursday morning to meet the head nurse and the doctor, Friday morning I go to the Metro with the LDS church elders and buy things for the hospital and deliver there.
Fitted a new rear door spring on the car.
The school building has new roof as well and they have now a new boiler room building at the back. And a lot of mud.
In fact a lot of mud everywhere in Mina. It looks like spring is coming...
Now I have to wash the car and go... to the airport.

A few more things

I have discussed with the head nurse and she confirmed that the burst pipe is now repaired. I really hope so, and hope that is well done. I had a meeting with the dentist in Brasov, discussed a few things, she may need some more medicines, and if so , she will give me a list and I will purchase for her. Also she was complaining about the water heater which is broken down (almost like always), water is leaking there and she can't use it. I suggested to discuss with the plumber, and I will tell this to the plumber and head nurse.
Monday or Tuesday I shall meet the LDS Church humanitarian aid elders, and it looks like we shall make a big shopping for the hospital from the Metro. I have already purchased 4 circular saw blades and a second hand sewing machine for the hospital, which was on their list.
Wednesday I will go to the airport to meet Matt and John and spend a week with them.
The weather is getting warmer, snow is melting and there is a lot of mud and water around.

Banta Singh Letter to Bill Gates

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
1. After connecting to Internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.
2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the 'shut down ' button.
3. There is a button 'start' but there is no "stop" button. We request you to check this.
4. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friend clicked 'run ' has ran upto Amritsar! So, we request you to change that to "sit", so that we can click that by sitting.
5. One doubt is that any 're-scooter' available in system? As I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.
6. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ' find', but unable to trace. Is it a bug??
7. Every night I am not sleeping as I have to protect my 'mouse' from CAT, So I suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat.
8. Please confirm when u are going to give me money for winning 'HEARTS' (playing cards in games) and when are u coming to my home to collect ur money.
9. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when u will provide that?

Best regards,
Banta Singh

Patients sleeping on doors!!!!

According to the European Union standards there is a limit now how many beds can actually be in each hospital ward. This law will be valid gradually in the whole country. In order to accomplish these demands many hospitals have removed beds to make more room in each ward, to meet these standards.
By removing these beds unfortunately the number of patients are not decreasing.
So in such situation is the main Brasov County Emergency Hospital, who removed the "unnecessary" beds, and now patients have to sleep, on... doors!
You read right, on doors! And this is happenning in the centre of Brasov. Comparing to this our friends in Mina 1 Mai have a better accommodation. They surely deserve it.

Important! I was thinking hard and hard again, what to do with the patients who have incontinence. This is a real problem as nappies are expensive. And finally I magicly found the solution! See below my soution for patients with incontinence:

Do you like the vehicle? Just wonder if we can register it? (That was a joke)
