Just watched the news and saw the building at the old Napier Hospital go up in smoke. I hope this is not anywhere near our beds Bruce?

Oh no Caryl I missed that on the news. i hope it WASN'T OUR BEDS. else Bruce's garage may :-? be rather over crowded.

Well not really :evil:

There are several old nurse hostels on Napier hill, the one that burnt down has been emoty for some years, it WAS located at the other end of the Napier hospital.

One of our club members did ring me early Friday morning and left a message on my phone saying that the hostel had burnt down

I didnt even know at that point, so you can imagine the PANIC

So your accomodation is still there

/Bruce

I can assure you we were probably panicking more than you!! :lol:

We figured it probably wasn't ours as one report had said the building was derelict and due for demolition but others referred to it as the old nurses' home so we weren't sure. Didn't realise you had a surfeit of old nurses' homes.

Bits of the Midnight Oil song about "How can we sleep when our beds are burning?" had been running through my head.

other headlines could be "100 IMMIGRANTS STOWED IN LOCAL MANS' GARAGE' 'HOUSING PROBLEM IN NAPIER'

The mind boggles ty Bruce for setting the Mainlanders' minds at rest.

What about "Something fishy reported in neighbour's garage"?

I am sure Bruce is relieved we are not planning to bunk down in his garage too! :lol:
