The new normal

So, Coronavirus. Here in New Zealand there are 8 confirmed cases so far. From tomorrow, everyone coming into New Zealand (except those from Pacific Islands) will be required to go into 14 days quarantine straight away. Things could get stricter. Large gatherings have been cancelled. I hope we don't get to the point that cinemas close, but you never know. Brr. It does help that it's only early autumn so far and today was a lovely fine day of 25 deg C / 80 deg F.  However, we will be heading into winter and the number of cases could increase. I do feel sorry for Europe and other places affected.

Am trying not to panic but I have chronic fatigue and frail-ish lungs. However, last year I only had a cold and it was years since I'd had even that. Writing fan fic is a good way of keeping me diverted right now.

There were only a few episodes of Dr Who screened at its usual night time slot until it suddenly was removed and moved to a morning slot (?). People complained and the official reply was along the lines of, 'We moved it to a time slot more in line with the UK screening time (we're about 12 hours ahead of the UK) because we can, otherwise you can stream it, tra la la!'.   hulk smash    I'll get it out on DVD when it comes out. Grr.

Still looking for a new part-time job.

Now for a funny Lucifer fan fic rec:

The President of Mars - Lucifer has the best present planned for Trixie’s birthday, and Chloe is absolutely going to kill him for it.
(featuring a trip to Mars where Lucifer, who is a dork, tries and fails to have a smoke. Bwahaha)
