Apologies, everyone.
It’s
bad enough we have to go into lockdown but I mistakenly upgraded the level.
As
the Prime Minister instructed, it is Level 3.
I suppose the Blues Vs Crusaders game will be cancelled...

Good evening Everyone
Here
we go again! As we are going into lockdown level 4 at noon tomorrow, it
is prudent of us to cancel this month’s meeting as the current duration is
until midday on Saturday - who knows...
I
hope that the Ministry of Health can track and trace the current Covid-19 case
and the lockdown ends on time.
So -
stay home, wash your hands, bake plenty and if you must leave home, wear your
mask. I guess it’s time to start using those toilet rolls we hoarded last
time...
Take
care and be kind.
Cheers

Good
evening everyone
You
may have wondered where I’ve disappeared to as I haven’t been in touch for
quite awhile.
I’ve
had such a bad run of plumbing. I had a water leak from within a second
storey brick wall and getting a bricklayer to do such a small job has been
difficult. In the end my builder (who was replacing a deck for me) did
the job. He used his grinder and cut away 8 bricks and then the plumber came
and replaced the pipes. It was just a pinhead leak but it was so
stressful.
But
today I went to La Cigale farmers market and got my knives sharpened by Mr
Sharp. If you ever need your knives, scissors or hedge clippers
sharpened, he’s there alternate weeks. Today I had 3 small and 1 large knives
done and it costed $15.00.
The
real reason that I’ve been quiet is that I’ve tried to get Judith Collins to
come to talk to us. But I heard back this week that next Saturday is the
official launch of the National Party Campaign so she won’t be able to come.
That was Plan A. Helen had a Plan B and has been trying to get
someone from the Cookie Project but it’s another no show.
Plan
C - I shall do a cheat’s barbecue pork bun. Happy for someone to suggest
something else.
The
Women’s Group charges $2.00 each meeting. This, and raffle sales, help
defray the costs of rent, afternoon tea consumables and any guess speaker
kohas.
It
has been suggested that members who are rostered to bring a
plate should not be required to pay this charge and I’m happy to adopt this
suggestion. I know that bringing a plate and raffle prizes is not just
about the cost but it is also time and thoughtfulness. Thank you to those
who bring food even though when they are not rostered.
Helen
will be in touch with the rostered team soon.
I
hope to see many of you next Saturday.
We’ve
had several family birthdays lately. Two of the cakes..
