While the rest of NZ (apart from Auckland) languishes in level 2, we on the north east coast of the lockdown region are still in Jail! It really is time to open up north of the Bridge, as all the new cases keep popping up Southside and city!
It really was a TGIF (thank god it’s Friday) moment at the end of my working week as momentum around the rest of NZ picked up, I found myself in a seated position for long days pumping through orders!
Aside from work busyness – it was a relatively unremarkable week, as the cold grey days, rain and wind continued to defy us the September spring…however the cherry blossom tree in front of Dans provides hope that spring is in the (cold) air! And a home to rowdy Tuis, at least 10 most of the time, being one of those NZ Native Birds who travel in Pairs!
The first jigsaw is finished, Trudi is on about her 20th book!
George is honing up his iso golf skills – trying to teach his Old mum how to hit a golf ball! Occasionally (this is very rare) one connects without turf, and gives me the inspiration to keep trying! Having an abandoned caravan park with a wide open space, within walking distance, is a bonus. I do still manage to be able to find every bush, tree and any old post still around and, without fail, my shots just head in their direction!
Last weekend saw us complete our lockdown job list, with sewing and repairs complete, polythene (as much as we had) layed down the driveway garden in readiness for rocks, Trudi attacked the windows, and the bbq. Which then (the Webber) produced the most delicious lamb roast dinner, only to need another spring clean the next morning! George got his car out of the mud, jumper leads needed as battery flat, then gave it a much needed spring clean!
Jaxon sends me pictures of his beautiful boy (and my grandbaby) five minutes down the road, who I cannot see before he heads off south to live, as lockdown rules are lockdown law (or so they say) Having been housebound for four weeks with no signs of covid, I’m sure we have dodged that bullet! Might just go get a test, coz that’s what we are being told to do…if we cough once!
We have it pretty sorted in our bubble, Dan has been feeding George cooked breakfast, Trudi is fully vaxxed- so she goes to the supermarket, we cook tea…and George cleans up! Last night produced an epic Saturday roast (supplied by Dan – cooked by Sue) followed by (or in Trudis case before dinner) beautiful homemade apple pies an ice cream – made with fresh apples and built by Dan!
Yesterday (Saturday), it was home haircuts (by Sue) for George and Trudi, and Dan cut his own. Sunday, day of rest or day of water blasting! We’ll see…..but first Coffee!
All who wander are not Lost girls 
Look at it like this Sue, without the lockdown you might not have done all this. We are so lucky over here. Although I guess it’s only a matter of time. Stay safe 🌹❤️
