Well the weather didn't cooperate with my intentions. Spent a good portion of the day dealing with work **** and still no resolution except the company is starting to wind down production by mid week but only because customers have pulled most of their jobs.

Today is the missus first day at home on enforced leave even though she has plenty of work to do which she can do from home easily. She's not happy.

Spent a bit of time collecting and cutting fire wood and got a good fire going in the pizza oven this evening, good couple of hours out of the house.

Right now, I'd give a lot to be out on the road cruising some of our great drives with **** all traffic about. Long haul drivers must be enjoying the roads I bet.

Be nice people, we are in unprecedented times.

Sounds like you folk are doing better than our friends in India who are also supposed to be in lockdown.

Day 5,

Need pics of said pizza oven. I have pics on my house build thread. I have built two over the years. When I sell up wife wants me to build another. Lots of work to build one though, takes me a fair few weeks and around $1000. I want to build a tandoor oven as well one day to go with the new pizza oven when we build a new house.

the quiet roads are good , but then again it's kind of eerie too , a few cars ,but mostly it's other trucks and the boys in blue out and about , I've been doing a bit of firewood as well , wifey is now working from home too , our home office looks like Nasa mission control , two monitors , and personal and work phone , although she spends more time puttering about outside , I think think I have spoken to more people up my street , from a distance of course , than ever , all seem resigned to it , and taking it their stride .

For Losh,

Still need to make cabinet door and enclose the sides. Then finish the bench tops but with the current situation that is all on hold for the moment. Still it's fully functional and that is the most important bit.

Mother inlaw just called, they went shopping this morning and the shop had a full shelf of flour so we are heading out on a scavenging mission this morning.

NZ coronavirus modelling gives an insight into why you lot are in lockdown.

No wonder our "esteemed leader" backed out of disclosing similar info for Aus.

Definitely. Going hard early is going to save lives. I wish people would see that.
