I&#39;ve been away for 3 weeks and they are pretty crispy but some still flowering a but. Also it seems I didn&#39;t understand the gap between amount-of-stems-to-be-cut-every-day and amount-of-stems-friends-havecapacity-to-cut-every-day.<br/><br/>By several orders of magnitude.<br/><br/>So have started the mammoth job of cutting out the seed heads (which I&#39;ll keep for next year and share with all and sundry) and some of the obviously very dead stems.

I have been in a wait list for that since October last year in Jersey - warned that it would be at least a year.<br/><br/>It got a fair bit worse recently, so I triggered the Swiss health care I have as part of my residence in Zurich for work. I saw a doc immediately (two fridays ago), had robotic laparoscopy surgery last Friday in a nice clinic in Basel.<br/><br/>Why am I posting this? Well it&#39;s not because I&#39;m chuffed to be so privileged. It&#39;s because I&#39;m so unbelievably angry at the politicians who say that decxent health care is too expensive while they buy private health care for themselves and their families.<br/><br/>Waiting lists are not costed correctly. They do not take into account the increased pain, the increased cost from worsened conditions, the loss of life /quality of life.
