The Birds are singing

Another week gone of kiwi lockdown, morning coffee on a Saturday morning after a night of heavy rain and the sun is peeping through. The weekend lockdown list that encompassed only indoor activities may need reviewing!

Last weekend saw a rexample of the driveway fence – all hands on deck – now waiting for level three to weedmat and rock!

Midweek activities (for those not sat in front of computers) saw Trudi paint garden and paving edges to match..

And the last corner of my house (which was still green from where the heatpump had been wall anchored) got a slap of pink to match last summers overhaul!

The week was interspersed with short strolls after work, outdoor activities, a relaxing beer or wine or two and hearty dinners prepared from our very full fridges – only one trip to the supermarket and we eat like Kings!

As we (in Auckland) roll into the next two promised weeks of lockdown and the first day of spring looms, we notice the temperatures rising (apart from evenings) and look forward to our Summer! Lockdown is a little more miserable I must say in winter!

Floyd has certainly reconnected with George – his new 2nd best friend (after Dan), Trudi and Sue well down in the food chain….unless they are cooking food!

One thing we have learned with this whole new world is that there is no point in looking too far ahead and enjoy the moments. We are lucky, I have two sons and my BFF in my bubble and to be honest it’s pretty much our regular social network!

I talk to Dad most days as he is bored in town and Jaxon and Steph are packing down the road – still hoping they can make their anticipated move to Katikati in a couple of weeks. The grandbaby is now crawling and sitting in his high chair and Jaxon sends me pictures of his milestones daily! Long distance Grandma…good practice for when they move!
