Lockdown!

 It's been over a year since our part of the country was in lockdown, but that has changed.

There is one case of Covid in the Auckland community so we are all locked down for three days and Auckland for a week.

For me, that means....no changes to my extravagant life style (as she tosses her hair back and smiles coyly--LOL), like last time. Of course, we are only the size of small sections of most countries, so that makes it very much easier to deal with, but I am grateful that New Zealand is able to handle things well.

We had planned a trip to the Auckland area in a couple of weeks, but that is off for now. Hubby has 'Plan B' (he must have been a boy scout because he's always prepared!), so I'm sure we will find some place to visit when we are allowed.

Let's hope we can be rid of this plague soon.

Certainly a bit of a shock to the system after the months of freedom, but we will survive. So glad I have plenty of handicrafts to do with the weather the way it is currently!! I hope you have some good books Betty
Stay safe

I am here in Kentucky and we are proceeding with school (I teach) no matter what. I guess we will all have to be sick and run out of teachers before they stop anything. Sad, really...

Stay well...

Good to hear quick action has been taken, unlike Sydney and NSW where the virus is flourishing.

We have all kinds of political feuds going on in Tennessee about freedom and lockdowns. I just stay at home, and still wear a mask and social distance when out. It seems like covid cases are rising in many places in the United States, but life for the general public goes on as if covid doesn't exist. Very tiring.

I hope NZ can control it. The Sydney strain of Delta is so infectious. You are lucky to have water between you and NSW we only have an invisible border. I doubt that we will keep it out of QLD for much longer.
