Day 52 * Tuesday 12 May

A couple of work zoom meetings today - one the Leadership Team at school and the other all of the staff. Great to see people's faces. Scott, Kelly and the children went to the beach this afternoon for a swim (bbrrr) and fish and chips....unfortunately we couldn't go as I had a 3.30pm meeting. Photos were sent...it looks like they had a great time! Another round of baking, this time bran muffins. Don't think they will last long! Matt rang late afternoon to check in, not sure when I can go in this week. Yay, we are going to Level 2 at midnight on Wednesday (tomorrow). Schools go back next Monday, 18 May. Thank goodness. Roberts still waiting to hear when he can get into stores.

Last day of lockdown, for 53 days we have been restricted in a way we never have seen before!! As of midnight tonight we are officially in Level 2 which means we can visit friends (go into their houses), have a haircut (Sophie rang today and booked me in for Friday, yay!), go into cafe and have a coffee/food, visit the Plaza and shop (I need a new whisk as managed to break mine 50 days ago), hug Zane, and travel out of our region - we may pop up to Taupo this weekend. Still some restrictions though. Initially the govt. had a 10 person restriction on weddings. tangi and funerals. Within hours today it was changed (under pressure) to up to 50 people. It is all about contact tracing. Hygiene and contact tracing in place in school, we start back on Monday. Children left at the gate, manned by Matt, Louise and I in the morning. There will be a pick up plan each afternoon too so parents don't need to enter school grounds. It's going to be interesting. New Zealand has got off lightly ...

A day late writing this!! Yesterday Robert and Scott went for a road ride, Scott's first one with his Dad on his old bike. Bit of a change from mountain biking for him. We went up to 'see' the grandkids, rewarded with a coffee made on the proper machine, nice change from the packet coffees I am making. Brooklyn and I walked home to our place from there's with Ava scootering there. Stopped to talk to two women painting the concrete blocks next to the community food sharing box at Memorial Park. Kelly arrived not long after, walking pushing Lucy in the buggy, took her only half the time!  Blair Oscar and Bridget FaceTimed us, lovely to see Oscar....up to mischief getting into cupboards and standing up opening the fridge. Kelly cooked dinner, so nice after five weeks of cooking every night. A real treat. Larsen Lodges Quiz Night again. Geoff, Sammy and Rach had put it together. Bridget and Blair won, closely followed by Scott and Kelly, third place was Elliot and Beaw. It...

The biggest excitement of the whole time in lockdown was Oscar's first birthday! There were balloons, a cake and candles, some fairy bread and we all sang the 'happy birthday' song! A virtual party with us at ours and Oscar, Blair and Bridget at their place in Geelong. Sad not to be there but fun all the same. The weather has turned colder and the rain (good for the farmers) has come down, so it's slippers and a fire (Scott and Kelly's). We watched a movie in the afternoon '7 Days at Entebbe'. Iv'e seen a few good Netflix/Lightbox/TV on demand series: Ozark, The Secre ts She Keeps, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, One Lane Bridge, The White Princess and Outlander.
