Installation at Maidstone Library

We have to be nimble nowadays as coordinating care arrangements for Doreen is an unpredictable and inexact science.

Everyone knows about the dangers of silo working and unfortunately our experience over several years is that the only coordinator is the carer, drawing together all the disparate services that seem to work in isolation, don’t talk to each other, know what each service is doing or do anything to beyond their particular remit.

So we fit in what we need to do around everything else that’s going on, adapting and changing plans as situations unfold.

Instead of walking into town we decided to take the car to the library to collect a book that was ordered pre lockdown and was now available. There was a convoluted process to collecting the book: the latest Stuart Maconie’s book, calling in at a slightly manic Aldi on the way home.

It was outside the library I noticed this rather appealing installation. I’ve not been able to find anything about it at all as Susan was waiting in a temporary parking bay and there’s nothing I can find on the web. Looks rather fine all the same.

We did manage to squeeze in a walk late afternoon, Susan ending up back at her mum’s to finish the cleaning while I went back to the allotment to bag up the spuds I’d dug this morning and had been drying in the sunshine during the day.
