After getting thru the first few days of (tell u the truth) a stressful time with shades of anxiety & some panicking was felt. However I found getting up at night and hitting the computa in dead of night eased the stress. At times with hot flushs I thought I was a suspect of this 19 thinking about where I had been prior to this lockdown. Once into the forth day I felt relieved and was going to get thru this, I figured out not watching tv news was the less stress, I already knew what I had to do so turned over too just listening to music, that did the trick in my minds way.
Not to get bored many chores were being added to a list apart from cleaning. Hit the yard looking around and saw what needed to be attacked, funny all those little jobs you put aside are now getting attention. The front yard is so tidy u could back a large van into space that was cleared. Obliviously the garden got a bit of attention, even placed a 1000lt water tank into its position after sitting around for 15yrs. Plotted a area for a 2nd future garden, that will keep me going before winter sets in,just need seedlings then. I don't go for walks in streets as I figure i'm keeping the bones rattling whilst working on projects. I do enjoy a beer at end of day tho .So what did you get up to, be interesting to see what jobs you invented to keep one insanity. Keep well

The Tūpuna Maunga Authority is now calling for a total ban on the private sale of fireworks, given it has only been six months since Guy Fawkes night fireworks caused fires on Maungarei and Maungawhau/Mt Eden.
"Only a national ban on the sale of fireworks will prevent them being in the hands of people who continue to put the public and our ancestral heritage at risk," authority chair Paul Majurey said.

Just wanted to be sure that everybody's pets are included in our personal space. Very unsafe to encourage other peoples pets to play and get fed at your place. If it is not your animal, very important to send the wee darlings home. Their mums n dads will be worried about them, particularly the older more vulnerable people in the neighbourhood. Other peoples pets are not for entertainment. Stay safe everybody.
