Christchurch Christmas
Finally the veggie gardens are in! We've constructed a frame draped with bird netting to protect the peas, which the sparrows love to feed their chicks. A cloch similarly shelters the lettuce and the tomatoes, staked well, are already in flower.
The South Island has been a global haven, largely free of Covid19 and associated long lockdowns. The government, bowing to tourism pressure, is planning to open internal borders around Auckland, then international borders to Australia. Everyone will be bursting back into Queenstown from which the virus will spread it's tendrils.
Freedom comes with responsible action and the vaccinated majority are already carrying antibodies, providing variable protection to a vocal minority (0.5 %) who, while demanding their own freedom to be unvaccinated, are about to risk severe illness to gain their antibodies and to place pressure on our hospitals which decreases all of our freedoms, but especially their own.
We are rushing to slow the virus down and it's been done this way elsewhere in the world, but the virus is faster than our speedier response.
May your mask be firm, a breeze caress and the sun shine warmly on you and yours this Christmas.

You can't rush an earthquake
During a disaster, each of us is impacted in different ways. The best but hardest thing to do is to wait until it is over then wait again until recovery begins.....
