Lockdown/Covid Check In
-
Yes, this is another Covid thread.
SO how are people doing?
I expect some are still working through, some not.
As pointed out on other threads, there is going to be alot of mental struggles during and post this.
THings ticking over here, I'm at work (Haha) kids still asleep.
We have a Whats APp group set up for work, and we check in, give easch other a hard time in there, which is helpful.
Am doing alot more exercise than normal, but involving the kids as well, they seem to be enjoying it, although they are on devices alot more, but with nowhere to go, to be expected.
All in all, going well here, so far...

Going pretty well. Even on the farm I am feeling a little closed in. Doesn't help we have a bull that is taking a while to come right. Prick must be getting there though as he charged me this morning for the first time only for true-love to start laughing.
Working now though so into the daily length of skype conference calls.

Having the Houseparty app is a huge help for us. The girl’s love it they chat constantly with their friends and cousins. Slight hiccups when they leave it on and you walk past to see some random kid staring at you..
Doing a small amount of work from home not a lot has come through. Never thought I’d look to work as a positive thing..
Least the weather hasn’t been so bad, the odd shower but it helps with the feijoas anyway.
Introducing the kids to GTA V seems to be great too...
I’ve enjoyed making connections and finding ways to see the bright side of what we are all facing, great to see the Fern as it’s own little not so little community too. Doing a great job here so let’s keep that up.

Where are you based? For some reason I think near me ... if need anything delivered, just say the word snd will see what I can do

Because my relatives are animals, they woke me with a group conference call at 7.30am this morning.
I have my scheduled grocery pick up tomorrow, and I'm near giddy at the thought of escaping for a drive. Bonus of living on a farm, I am kitted with a mask, disposable gloves, and disinfectant wipes. Indeed, anyone who breaks the six foot rule is gonna get a teat disinfectant wipe in the gob.
I've basically been doing anything but writing, but not so worried about that right now. Managing mental health is more important.

Struggling with no contact with my niece and nephew who are 4 years old, we are very close spending every weekend together. They just don't understand why we cant cuddle and kiss etc. I am also slightly anxious my parents in NZ may get sick and I cannot get back to see them should the worst happen.
Also stressing to see if I can get the JobSeeker or JobKeeper payments.
I also feel guilty that I have lost my job but my wife has to go to work to support us.
On the positive side I am lucky my wife has a job and we are not under financial stress. We are also both middle aged with no underlying health issues.
-
I have good hours and bad hours - sleep is an issue for a couple of the vets in the house so we're discussing geek shit like setting up proper home networks, new PC builds and how to be an apple/adobe free zone. Oh and buckets of military history discussions.
also my hard drives of NZ test cricket and rugby are very popular, while all the 70s and 80s UK comedies and dramas are in high demand.

@chimoaus where in Whangarei is your mum? Seem great pockets of community support poppig up around.
-
@taniwharugby She is in Kamo, she has plenty of family support which is good. I'm more concerned if she gets sick I cannot get to her, but I imagine nearly every kiwi overseas is in the same boat.

I'm in comms for a Govt agency so there's still plenty for us to do - for now at least - as we respond to legislative changes and engagement with industry etc.
Personally, it's all a little odd for me. I moved into my own place in the middle of February, which was timely, but it also means it's pretty much me (as I don't have a bubble buddy). Plenty of Skype calls for work means I'm not just talking to myself plus I'm doing a press up challenge with a bunch of guys so that gets me out of my chair - occasionally.
Also showing great displicine not to drink until Thursday nights at the very least...

What time of the day is this "Thursday Night" you speak of? I have made sure not to start before midday. Is that Thursday Night?
