GETTING STOCKED UP

Today we went to Kamo to buy a few necessities.  First stop was the Vet to get some ear treatment for Sophie, then the bulk garden supply place for some wood chips that I use on the base of Kim's run and the Farm Supply shop for wheat for the birds.  Into Kamo itself for a couple of items including some broccoli plants and some dwarf bean seedlings - not on our list it seems a bit early but we thought we would give them a try, they look good seedlings.

On the way home we thought we may go to the supermarket but as there was a queue we passed on that and I have just done an internet order for delivery tomorrow.  I did, however, go to the butcher next door to the supermarket and bought some lamb chump chops.  

I got a load of washing done and dried which is good as it is now pouring with rain.  

MUCH LATER: The Prime Minister has just had a press conference and announced that we are staying at the same levels (3 for Auckland and 2 for the rest of the country) for the next 12 days.  It appears as though there is only the one cluster of Covid 19 in the country.  That is far better than having to go back to level 4 and 3 respectively.

Meanwhile, here in Whangarei, there was a sudden death this morning and, although the deceased was not a known Covid 19 case, precautions are being taken as the person had been suffering respiratory symptoms and had recently been in Auckland.  The ambulance was stood down and Search and Rescue, who are trained in body recovery, were brought in.  I hope it is a false alarm.
