Day 25 Level 4 Lockdown

Somehow I managed not to take a blip all day, probably because I was busy inside all day and suddenly it was evening!  So, today’s blip is of our supper - monkfish sautéed in butter on carrot, parsnip and potato mash with Brussels sprouts and apples sautéed in butter and cream.  We had some smoked butter in the fridge, so used that, which added a subtle flavour to the mash and the Brussels.
There were 23 new cases in the community today, which is worrying. However the Ministry of Health said some volatility was likely at this stage as it expected some changes in the numbers as Day 5 and Day 12 tests for contacts of cases were due and it did further investigations of any new unlinked cases.  Fingers are crossed, as it now looks a little less likely that Auckland will move down to Level 3 on Wednesday.
