June 10th 2020, yesterday after 18 covid free days was our first day of level 1…..YES the gates were unlocked! No more climbing activity, I can slip into my cottage like a normal human being!
So what did I do to celebrate? Threw on the trackpants and sat in front of the computer all day! After my morning coffee and a visit from these guys….
We are still surrounded by feathered friends.
George ventured out for a gym session, Steph took herself off for a beach fish and Jaxon battled through a second day of working out his redundancy. A casualty of covid! There are many covid casualties here that do not relate to getting sick, many business closures and job losses and life changes.
Some things however don’t change.
Saturday nights will always include a Speights, Birkenstock’s can be worn summer and winter (just add socks), and Floyd will always be too big for any mat! (Usually stretching towards the food).
Looking forward to the big family outing on Sunday as we hit our first live sports event in three months…Jaxon, Steph, George and Sue at least will be heading to Eden Park, Rain Hail or Shine. I usually take a rain check if it’s not fine, but this time I am prepared for any weather!
We need to start counting Rainbows, and look forward to the future, baby steps…jobs, travel, weekend roadies, more sports, time spent with family and friends. And maybe hunt out some warm winter clothes as we are in for a cold snap – minus double digits in the South Island!
Yes there will be thunderstorms on our pathway to a new future, but I think with the tsunamis the Bonnici Carter’s have navigated in the last year, a mere dog paddle will deal with the thunderstorms.
All who wander are not Lost girls
