Moving on....


New Zealand today is in lockdown, that means everyone, unless you're on essential business has to stay at their property for the next 4 weeks. As of yesterday our level of infected people rose to 205 (I think) so we made the very quick decision to fill 2 cars with boxes and various possessions to take to the new property 2 hours away. We ended up getting stopped by cordons of officials who were giving people healthchecks, we were ok so we were waved through but it was a bit of a scary experience.

We do however have clearance from Northland's mayor to move because the other half and I are considered part of our country's essential services that have to keep working. He fixes peoples phone lines, internet etc and I am going back to my old work which is allowed to stay open.  So today and until our internet is connected at the new property we won't be online very much - stay safe and we will see you tomorrow.
