Tea and Tattoos
At Paihia there are a few little alleyways leading to different types of shops. In this particular one is a clothing shop at the end, an art gallery to the right and a tattoo studio to the left. I like the vintage looking words on the wall saying "Tea 1 and6 per pound (lb)".
Covid news: as of today we have 31 cases and counting in Auckland and Wellington with over 100 places of interest. The suspicion has been on a person who flew back from New South Wales in Australia who was infected, possibly the virus spread while they were in hotel quarantine. We are all in lockdown for another 4 days and It'll be quite some time before we will be walking around public places again. Masks are mandatory when entering places that are essential services such as chemists, supermarkets or doctors but there are people who are refusing to do their bit in keeping everyone safe. All other businesses are closed but on a positive note the amount of people getting their vaccines has flown upwards, B and my 2 adult children have had theirs done now.
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

Our hospitals are already struggling. I don't get they don't understand it will impact paramedics ability to attend car crashes, heart attack patients ability to attend ER and cancer patients ability to get treatment - they don't seem to understand what's going on at all. It's such a worry.
Stay safe.
The rest of your post.... oh. Do we have a chance of a normal life again?
Money is there for trying to get to Mars, but...??? Covid, cancer, pfffft. Who cares?
Rules, like masks, distance... so many just don´t care, I don´t get it!
Some stores took off the distance-markers and BOOM! - people sit in my neck and I really learn to get loud and tell them off.
At least I "adult", LOL (I´m a shy introvert in "normal" life).
Craziest - scariest times.
I hope they start appointment free drop in Vax clinics for you soon.
