One of three; Lockdown4, Day1

Yesterday evening daughter C texted S t let us know that Auckland is back in Level 3 lockdown for at least seven days. Due to increased evidence that there could be more community transmission than had been thought. 

While I was reading a news flash on that my phone sounded an alarm as it received a text from the control centre with formal notification, and some minutes later S got the same alarm and message. It’s a very impressive communication system.

I will go to the unit tomorrow and discuss whether to abide by the Occ Health advice that I should work from home, or go in and stay upstairs in my office. That would make it more likely that others would consult me. 

Did two and a half hours sweeping and clearing two of the three decks. Scones made by S for lunch, then down to the water’s edge on the outgoing tide, and finding three Kuaka at Southend. The other about a hundred were somewhere else. 

After getting back I did some more weeding of the terraced garden. After an hour and a half I had cleared around the three surviving hibiscus shrubs. Meaning that two of those transplanted from another more shady spot appear to have succumbed.
