The border has been closed to all but New Zealand citizens and residents and we have been told that the "over 70"s" should stay at home where possible. On Friday, after hearing that the Auckland Library had closed we went to our local library and got some more books. Our library is closed from tomorrow except for pick ups of already ordered books so, after reading "By Stargoose and Hanglands" blog I checked to see if any of the books were available and have got one "on hold" and put a couple more books on hold as well. I am not sure how long one will be able to pick books up so have my fingers crossed that I can get these extra books. They have made all books available for two months instead of the usual 1 month.
We have Doug's Grand-daughter's wedding next Saturday. At present, we are intending to go to the actual ceremony which is outside on his parents' farm but not sure about going to the reception. We still plan to go to the local markets which are outside and will see what happens about the supermarket. May have to do on-line shopping.
As far as the drought is concerned we read in yesterday's paper that the level may go up meaning that we can no longer use a hose on the garden. We have just been clearing out the old summer gardens and are hoping to get some seedlings and/or seeds tomorrow. Have heard seedlings are in short supply.
Here is some wildlife from our walk on Wednesday.
