Here We Go Again

Sadly after 102, Covid-19 free days, New Zealand has another  Covid cluster.  Scarily no one appears to know where it has come from.  Unfortunately it is centred in Auckland, so we are in a Level 3 lockdown till at least 26 August, whereas the rest of New Zealand is in Level 2.  There are a couple of cases (the cases have a connection to the Auckland cluster) out of Auckland , in the town that my parents live in too, so that is causing a little anxiety also.

Level 3 means, no work unless you are an essential worker, no schools or university.  We can walk in our neighbourhood only, and any trips out are basically to the supermarket, medical centre, Covid testing station or a pharmacy.  We can get takeaways through a click and collect option.  The rest of the country has almost a normal life.  We are being encouraged to wear masks, but it is not mandatory, so a little mask making has been happening, however I am now running out of elastic as are the shops.  I used this pattern,

So I am trying to stay positive, I'm making a list of possible  sewing projects to start and maybe some to finish, I've bought 5kg of flour so I should be able to bake a lot, which in turn means I'll need to walk a lot.

Stay Home, Stay Safe. Wear a mask.  Kia kaha.
