Strange Day

My doctor phoned me for an entirely unnecessary consultation and ordered a repeat prescription for me (albeit I had ordered one by internet 10 days ago)- faxed directly to the pharmacy which is located in the local supermarket and therefore costing an extra $5!   So with a homemade mask and gloves from my first aid kit I took my new car out in the rain and collected the medicine.   How obedient am I?!   I discovered that most NZ'ers don't seem able to gauge a 2 metre separation distance, that baking goods have been panic bought and shelves are empty, that supermarket staff are angelically patient and careful and that I need to get used to a reversing guide on the screen and not twist my neck when backing out of a car park! 

Then it was home to ignore the DBEM's "are you going to dry off your car?" (no, it can dry itself off naturally!!); complete the sewing for Great Niece E's little dress; finish off the matching rag doll; discover that one of the eBooks from my library was due to expire so hurriedly finish that; eat unnecessary chocolate; discover that six of my carrot seeds have sprouted -  all in all a less than productive day.   It's the rain that did it - on a fine day I get out for a walk and feel better for it:)

Anyway Great Niece E at 10 days old is doing better and she has a summer dress to look forward to when they eventually return to NZ.   And a matching dolly.   However at this stage these are virtual gifts sent by photo only.   Dratted virus has curtailed even the minimal services that NZ Post was offering pre-Covid 19!

And with that March 2020 comes to a close.   Until next...  Keep safe, keep well.
