Doug went out in the car - quite an adventure during Lockdown, he had to pick up a repeat prescription in the next suburb and, while he was out was able to get some wheat for the birds at the Farmlands shop. We phoned to order it and he had to be there between 3pm and 4pm and said that only two cars were allowed into the car park at a time and everyone's goods were laid out in a tent with the purchaser's name. He said it was very well organised to keep people apart. At the pharmacy he went to the drive through window.
I made a cake and a batch of tomato and capsicum sauce and we had some of the sauce with our lunch of sausages and mash. While we had lunch we listened to Her Majesty the Queen. What an amazing lady. Her speeches are always excellent and to the point. Well done Ma'am.
It is starting to get cooler now and may not be long before we start lighting the fire. That is as interesting as our days are at present.
The total number of covid 19 cases in New Zealand is 1106 and it appears to be levelling off. Hopefully we started our Lockdown early enough. We are very impressed with both our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern and the Director General of Health, Dr. Ashley Bloomfield.
Strange how such mundane tasks acquire such significance in our days at the moment. I was cleaning windows and washing floors yesterday; very satisfying and I don't feel that I've wasted any time that might have been spent more interestingly. Off to the pharmacy today, hey ho!
ReplyDeleteOur worlds have become so much smaller. We do have our morning 1.5kms walk and shorter, slower dog walk but apart from that we don't leave the property.
DeleteGood to hear of garden progress..one of life's essentials.
ReplyDeleteI look at gardens that are all grass..or even all concrete..and think what a waste.
Yes, I was lucky to get the plants as they sell out almost immediately. Our neighbours have started growing some plants in a tub. They have not grown anything up to now.
DeleteShopping is becoming an exercise in logistical precision.
ReplyDeleteYes, I seem to be spending a lot of time at the computer sorting out shopping.
DeleteI watched Her Majesty as well. She has a great insight and I thought her words were very encouraging. We will all get through this - hopefully sooner than later! Mxx
ReplyDeleteYes, It looks as though we have gone into lockdown in time to stop it getting too bad. I hope so anyway.
Deleteyes I think Ashley has done a superb job, he's so easy to understand and thorough.
ReplyDeleteYes, my only worry is that he is overdoing it. He is starting to look really tired.
DeleteThis morning I wake to the news that Boris is very ill. I just hope he pulls through; not much more to say.
