Walkabout
A few weeks ago I posted about how people where putting teddy bears and other soft toys in their windows for children to see when out walking in their neighbourhoods with their household bubbles which is permitted during lockdown. Today I wandered a few kilometres from home and came across this on the outskirts of Wellington.

Lest we forget
No mass gatherings for Dawn Parades this Anzac Day of course, but plenty of remembrance.
Twirling Tuesday – fallen leaves
These lockdown days, when there are limited opportunities to take new photos provide an opportunity to play around with post processing techniques.
Bren at Brashley Photography hosts a “Twirling Tuesday” challenge using blur, twirl and blending modes to create interesting effects.
Here is my first attempt

Lens Artist Photo Challenge: Morning
While I am largely taking on board the advice that showering and getting dressed is good for productivity and mental health (OK so I did do my 9:30 skype call on Saturday morning in my PJs – but hey it was Saturday and one of my colleagues did the call from bed) the rest of my morning routine has shrunk.
Pretty much the only thing I do regularly these days before sitting down at my desk is to go out and get the paper. My team does the daily quiz (which normally we do over afternoon coffee) over a morning video conference.
Today’s news was the imminent government decision as to when we are going to move from ALERT level 4 to ALERT level 3, where slightly more industries are able to open. The move will be made at midnight next Monday, and we will have at least two weeks at Level 3. It won’t make a lot of difference to me – the pub and the gym are still closed and I will still be working from home.
