It seems there will be no overseas holidays for the foreseeable future - months, or years - so perhaps we need a blog post to show life in our locked-in state. Thanks to the internet, Lisa, Adam and Sue can continue to work fairly well connected to their offices and workmates. And we have all of Netflix, Amazon, Lightbox and TVNZ online to keep us entertained in the evenings.
Lisa and Adam made a mad dash to Wellington at the last moment before "lockdown", to avoid having to spend the next month or three in their Auckland flat with its limited living room space. Here at least they get their own "office" and a bit of living room - plus the pleasure of our company of course! And the cat.

| Lisa's new workplace (was James' room) |
 |
| Adam is set up there too. They can both continue work, on VPN connections to their workplaces in Auckland. |
 |
| We observed (fairly relaxed) "social distancing" for about 10 days, just to be safe! Mishka completely ignored the rules. |
 |
| The deserted rose garden and Picnic Cafe. |
 |
| Not many cars on the motorway! |
 |
| COVID-19 lockdown dominates the news. |
 |
| Tinakori road at 9 am! |
 |
| We almost had the Botanic Gardens to ourselves. |
 |
| The new norm - washing the groceries in soap and water! |
 |
| The council has stopped sweeping the streets, so they are reverting to the wild. |
 |
| We can walk the waterfront at least, along with a few others. Some creative knitting... |
 |
| A deserted Lambton Quay, with no cars and empty shops. |
 |
| The Terrace. Still no traffic. |
 |
| Easter Buns! |
