Level 4 lockdown
So yesterday started off straight forward. I went to a monthly meeting of the Handweavers Guild (I used to be the secretary there) where someone gave a talk with photos about going to a weaving camp down at Turangi, next to Lake Taupo. Some beautiful photos of the lake and of the weaving examples shown, some of it really great. Then in the afternoon I had to go to the dentist for a routine clean and check (nothing bad found so that was good).
Afterwards I went to a cafe to calm down after Dentist fun, where I found out that Auckland and nearby Coromandel region was to go into a level 4 Covid lockdown from midnight for a week, because of community cases found, possibly the dangerous Delta variant. Level 4 is the strictest lockdown where you all stay home and only places like the supermarkets and pharmacy are open. Exercise is permitted as long as you don't go too far from your neighbourhood. So with mask on I headed to some shops to get last minute stuffs.
I also decided to treat myself to some books and went and bought the next two books in the 'Shadow and Bone' trilogy after having seen the first season / book on Netflix. Ben Barnes, gosh, you've turned into Hot Evil guy though I remember you as so dashing and earnest in that Prince Caspian movie some years ago. I didn't have many library books at home but for reasons I couldn't go to a library yesterday.
Today it was revealed it is the Delta variant traced back to New South Wales in Australia, where they're struggling to deal with covid, poor chaps. I think they had 400 new cases in a day just recently. We don't want that here.
