The Nelson Trip came to quick end…rebooking first flight back last Saturday….not cleaning campervan….and weekend in hospital, with Dad. This time Steve doing nights and the Bonnici family (mine and cousins) daytimes. He’s a fighter and flicked back into action to get back to his home on Thursday.
So my “holiday” week is a distant memory as the aftermath (last week) has included four days to the other side of Auckland (for work) hospital visits and hours on the road (driving). It seems that every crash on the roads this week decided to happen just before I passed through – needless to say, sitting in stationery traffic on motorways has been a big part of my week.
New Zealand continues to remain relatively covid free (apart from border isolation) while Australia (our travel bubble partner) struggles to get outbreaks under control. As only a small number of the population is fully vaccinated – we will never achieve immunity or confidence to move far from our own doorstep! Us 60 plus’s should be offered the vaccine by the end of July, but many are hesitant! (and information is scarce as to who can book and when)
In the small world..we now live in, the youngest family member visited the cottage yesterday…
And (Tyler) took a nap on Russell’s blankey!
The All Blacks continue to dominate the pacific test challenges…and provide Saturday night (in house) entertainment.
Winter is throwing its usual dampness and cold…interspersed with a few hours of Sunshine and the odd polar blast. Thermals, Jackets and scarves are all out in force.
Sunday morning dawns with more of the same and a grocery shop on the agenda! Winter life can be a little dull!
