'Bye bye Blue Care!'

So..........today is our last day with Blue Care for tomorrow we start with Kin Care.Will rang Blue Care on Friday to give them the news but reminded them that Kin Care was starting on Tuesday and that we still needed Blue Care to shower Dulcie on Monday.In many ways I am glad to see the back of Blue Care and hope that Kin Care will be an improvement but I am reserving judgement on that for a while. My only regret with Kin Care starting on Tuesday was that we would not see Rhiona again to say 'goodbye and thank you.' Rhiona has been the best of a bad bunch and to be honest seems so out of place with the rest of the motley crew.......and she loved my biscuits!Normally on a Monday it is Rani who comes for the shower but when it reached 10.30 and Rani still had not rung I began to think think that it would be a fitting end to our partnership with them not turning up at all even though Will had specifically reminded them that we needed them today.I got Dulcie up but we just put a flannelette shirt over her nighty for breakfast and then she settled in her chair to watch tennis on Fox.At 11.45 the phone rang.......it was Rhiona! She was coming to do the last shower! I think it is the first time that Blue Care did something right......and it was the only 'other' fitting end to our partnership.Rhiona is the only bit of Blue Care we will miss.I gave her the recipes for Dulcie's Biscuits. She was delighted.She got teary eyed at saying goodbye and nearly set me off when she said "You guys are doing an amazing job.""You are always welcome here, dear," said Dulcie."Can you not move to Kin Care?" I asked hopefully.It is always best to end with a laugh.
