So I'm getting a replacement sent out but it won't get here in time for Monday. Is there anybody out there and can lend me a comfortable office chair to use for a few days? I have no issues with coming to pick it up.. assuming it's come from a household that hasn't been affected by COVID-19 in any way.

Thanks!

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.

The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.

“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.

The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”

Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.

A temporary speed hump installed in Adelaide Road today signals the start of major repair works on the Mt Albert high-pressure sludge pipelines, following the arrival in Wellington of a team of specialist international technicians and essential materials and equipment.

Wellington Water’s Manager Major Projects, Stephen Wright, says the temporary change is a final part of preparations for repairing the pipes and ending the sludge trucking operations, between Moa Point and the Southern Landfill, that were put in place to avoid any discharge of sludge into the sea after the pipelines failed.

“Bringing the specialist team and materials here from Germany during the global pandemic and our own lockdown has been a real challenge. We’re extremely grateful to the Government for granting the special permission necessary to bring them here so quickly.”

On arrival in the country, the technicians spent 14 days in quarantine in Auckland before travelling on to Wellington, where they arrived last night.

surviving lockup

John from Wadestown

Today’s news had some prisoners in a New Zealand jail complaining that they’d been locked in their two-person cells for up to 23 hours a day. I fully empathise with them. As one of the community’s vulnerable I’ve been locked in my one-person cell for 24 hours a day for six weeks now.

Today’s news had some prisoners in a New Zealand jail complaining that they’d been locked in their two-person cells for up to 23 hours a day. I fully empathise with them. As one of the community’s vulnerable I’ve been locked in my one-person cell for 24 hours a day for six weeks now.

For the vulnerable moving from Level 4 to Level 3 has made no difference, we’re still in lock down. The Government’s
Former Science Adviser, Professor Peter Gluckman, says effect of this virtual imprisonment is resulting in mental distress and the fear of suicides. If you’re in lockdown with your wife or partner at least you have some human contact, but if alone it’s hell.

The one saving grace is video contacts; the local church has just started virtual services using Zoom software. They had 25 on screen on Sunday. Yesterday I attended a University of the 3rd Age lecture and we had over four hundred faces to watch.

This seems to portend the future where our main contact will be via screen.

If you’ve visited Disneyland you will have experienced rides where a combination of sound vision and small movements in your seat can give the illusion that you are really are flying.

If we could extend audiovisual of virtual meetings to include feelies we might be able to hold virtual hands and even have virtual kisses. I'll stop there before I get carried away.
