Funny how little has changed in 100 plus years.

But is it?

On your bike.

In our city it's a gamble you will make it to work when traffic are at peak levels.

Lock Down Lite 33

Still playing the game. We became carers for grandkids today following the bubble merger rules.

Mum and dad are essential services workers and we have some capacity as Robs not working and I am working at home.

So interesting day.

Good Morning

Some images from Melbourne

(2015) 

Such a great city to walk around.

Could be the start of a new technology stream.

Our phones could charge by just leaving them in a cool dark room overnight.

Feeling happy? While not at the top we make it into the top list.

Grace #1

 G is a very special person. The only girl among our wider family of grandsons and my brother and sisters 'all boys' families.

But more Grace is a cool person and just getting on with her busy life.

Good News

Maybe why we don't hear the term 'acid rain' like we used to in the 70's 80's

 Never thought of it like this

Sometimes the worst mess can turn into something amazing.

I think we are also dumbing down in lock up.

Exercise

I think many people have taken to exercise simply to get out of the house over the last thirty plus days. For most of my life I have exercise daily, usually twice a day once on my own and once with Rob. However being constrained to 'local' activities I developed a little program for myself to do daily outside my back gate to the park. It's surprising over thirty days just how much can be achieved. I did a tally as follows.

Run = 108km (park lengths)

Push ups = 2400

Planks = 2 hours (combined)

Back exercise = 2 hours (4 variations)

What I haven't counted are the bottles of beer, gin, tonic and wine we have consumed! We know its way higher than usual because suddenly we almost need two recycle bins. Also I am thinking of getting a lid for ours so the neighbours can't see our problem. Right now I am putting it down to stress relief. Might need to step up that exercise....

Are we getting healthier as a result or sicker?

ANZAC Past

Previous years at the Mt Maunganui ANZAC war memorial cenotaph.

Seeing all these people together seems strange after 31 days of social distancing and staying at home.

Good Morning

Least we forget

Dawn Service for our street

A great neighbour

 A fitting sunrise for the last post.

I had dads medals in my pocket per usual and it was a time for me to remember his service to NZ while in WW2 in campaigns in North Africa and Italy. He came back home wounded. Mum was also in the NZ army serving in the WAAC's
