Lockdown/Covid Check In

Come on lads, chin up and all that.
2020 has been a fucking shitshow but if the most we have to complain about is the lack of an overseas holiday to look forward to, then we are doing pretty pretty well. (Note, I'm not saying that some of us haven't had way more than that thrown at us, and I'm not intending to margianalise what many have been through)
For me, I just keep reminding myself of all the people out there that have lost family members , lost jobs, lost relationships, and maybe worst of all, lost their sense of hope for the future.
This year totally fucked with my family plans, but I'm under no illusions that I'm still one of the very lucky ones - I spent 6 weeks in lockdown with my family, quality time that we will never forget. I have a job to return to, and a home to get back to that we have realised that we all miss so much.
No doubt there will be a period of austerity, some cutbacks (not on the wine or food front obvs), and overseas travel will be the first to go. But I can live with that.
And I'll always have the Fern!!!

@MajorRage yeah we were in Brisbane this time a year ago and supposed to be in Crete this week. Eyeing up doing a few days in Devon instead later on in the summer.
Can't see cousins wedding in Raro going ahead in October so hoping there might be some way to get back to NZ for second 21st and Xmas.

Here you go. As promised.
Hope you like Panhead
Fuck, I do ! Who doesn’t ?
For all those lamenting the travel limitations why not use those to your advantage and plan locally. I just had a lovely long weekend at the lodge near Mt Egmont. We’re planning another trip to the Bay of Islands and the Coromandel. Explore your backyard, it can be quite good fun.

I'm there for work next week, I'm holding you to that. Covid stats look ok but I assume I still need a mask for all the STDs ?

Deputy PM of the Cooks said yesterday that he believes flights to Cooks should recommence as soon as NZ moves to Lvl 1
I've always thought the Sth Pacific Islands will open in short order. It's really are they safe from us rather than vice versa given they've had no cases but haven't the infrastructure to cope with an outbreak.
As the DPM said Cooks should be treated as a domestic flight. In terms of risk is no more dangerous than flying Akl to Wtn.

As long as they stay locked out from everyone else it sounds good

I see that he started without you but who cares.
With you on the 2020 sentiment. Having lost a friend to cancer already, and had to suffer an online funeral, my old man has it now and they are operating today. It fucking sucks.

@Bones Sydney as well - or used to be on Virgin I think. I've been at Raro and seen a Sydney flight leave.
It was The PM of the Cooks
