In 1918, the Spanish Influenza had arrived on New Zealand's shores. In the Auckland Institute and Museum's 1918-1919 Annual Report, there is a very short reference to the epidemic's affect on the Museum:
"The recent epidemic of influenza has greatly affected the attendance at the Museum. In the first place, it necessitated the closing of the Institution from November 3 to December 1, or nearly a full month, and after re-opening it was at least another month before the attendance became normal."
We too, will open again, and while it may take a while to get back to normal, we can get there together.
Let's unite against COVID-19. Kia kaha New Zealand. Stay at home, be calm and be kind. He waka eke noa.

As of tonight at 11:59pm New Zealand will move to a Level 4 alert in response to the #COVID19 pandemic. It will put the entire country on lockdown for four weeks. Here’s what that will mean for us moving forward:

Lots of incorrect information doing the rounds too, unfortunately.
With this in mind, I have written some simple sanitary behaviour protocols. They have been beneath the eyes of a senior paramedic, a nurse and an emergency physician - they're sound.
They were written for the volunteer group I'm in but the information is good for anybody. You can access them here:

Stay safe, everyone.

When I decided a couple of years ago to find a cleaner myself, it never felt entirely comfortable for me - but at the same time, I also felt happy I could give someone else a little work.
I heard today that most of my cleaner's customers have cancelled - or she's cancelled out of respect for the alert level.
So I guess this is a small challenge for my neighbours...
I know our world is changing very fast right now, but if you can afford to, please consider continuing to pay your loyal cleaner / babysitter / gardener etc. Even if it's just a partial payment as a gesture.
Obviously they won't be able to carry out your service - but maybe when the world is back to normal your house will end up extra sparkly one day or you'll find a new pot plant on your doorstep.
I appreciate this won't be possible for some but those of you doing this already, thanks for spreading kindness.
I'm not sure what we would have done if Mum's income was cut off when we were little.
And hot tip: good cleaners, babysitters and gardeners are all in hot demand on Neighbourly so looking after them now might mean someone else doesn't pinch them from you in the future - ha!
(Ironically I now regularly drive and walk past the beautiful giant house she used to clean on Remuera Road. I reckon they still have a cleaner 😂).
