NZ's back in Lockdown

[KiwiCol]

Well, it finally happened, after 170 days of Covid free, there's been a (single) case of community transmission of Covid, and bam! the whole country is locked down for 3 days minimum, Auckland & Coromandel are locked down for 7 days minimum.  Seems a bit over the top really, but we'll see.

Just 10 minutes after the notification the Mrs  is lining up jobs for me for the next 3 days!!  and I can't even escape to work!  Yay me.

Col, didnt you forget to pick up your heart pills, your mate is sick, needs some milk. A shopping list with you also works, ive done them all.

There's nothing like a massive overreaction to try & keep the panic going is there?

[KiwiCol]

Yeah, at level 4 (strictest level) you're still allowed out for a walk, & to get essential supplies, but have to wear a mask (don't have one anymore??) and stay 2m apart from people. Not allowed to go joy riding, have to stay in our own local area.  Roads will be empty again & any traffic movements are very conspicuous, however, as you say, I'm on the way to the supermarket & got detoured by 185 kilometers . . .

Bang on the money there Hooli. Our communist leader loves the control.
I thought everyone traveling here had to have produced a negative test before boarding a plane. But seems our quarantine facilities are full of people with the new and improved delta (Indian) variant.
Col I reckon the princess will not let us out till Monday at the earliest.

[KiwiCol]

Maybe went & prayed for a win?   

[Kiwifruit]

Or begged for forgiveness

Changed the oil and filter yesterday. Who knows when they will let us go out riding again.
We live on a rural road, recently they dropped the speed limit from 100kph to 80kph. Out the front of the property yesterday having a tidy up. Been amazed how fast some bikes...and cars are going past the house.....surely must be essential workers 
Note traffic management plan in place

Is that mower registered and insured.

[Kiwifruit]

What mower...... that's a hi-viz vest and road cone display unit 

No compulsory insurance in NZ.

Someone has to be in charge of site safely and administration Col
