One week to go

Cyclists at Mount Victoria, Devonport

One week to go until we move. I've completed about 3/4 of the packing and only have last minute things to do mostly in the kitchen.

We heard this morning that NZ has 53 cases of Corona Virus now with the number rising mostly this week. The borders have been closed at our International Airports to non residents and anyone currently here on holiday from overseas is meant to be self isolating but many tourists have been ignoring that. It's hard for me to imagine someone deliberately flouting health rules that are meant to be there for everyones safety and I don't know whether to say it's rude, selfish or both. My parents are both in the 70s and they have been staying at home.

People are also meant to be staying at least 2 metres away from others with a limit of 100 people in public indoor places but there are still restaurants that again are ignoring this, people really don't seem to be that concerned which I find a bit bizarre.

Back to sorting out kitchen drawers...

..if they seem not to be concerned, hopefully that will all change quickly. This is serious, take good care of yourself and family.

Good luck with your packing. We had our first conviction yesterday of someone not self isolating - 3 months in jail.

Hope your move goes smoothly in this crisis situation.
I just can't understand the attitude of those people who are just arriving. Hell they are putting so many others in danger!

I've been thinking the same thing. Some people don't seem concerned at all while others are taking all kinds of precautions. I was invited by friends to someones house for games tonight. It was just a group of no more than 5 but I decided not to go. It was at the home of someone I don't know all that well and my gut said I should play it safe.

Those people are foolish, selfish and dangerous to be around.
Stay safe!

Sounds like you are getting on well with your moving preparations Amy and yes I agree, it would be wonderful if everyone practiced safe measures at the moment.

People can be so thoughtless.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
