damn and blast it all!!!

Little old New Zealand has finally had 4 cases of COVID19 through community transmission...and it seems to be a mystery as to where it came from given that we had been "community transmission free" for 102 days. Auckland has gone in to a "Level 3" Lockdown in an attempt to stop it getting any further.
Amused by a particular "orange president" and his administration issuing a Travel Warning to U.S citizens to avoid New Zealand because of COVID...pot, kettle.
The tea-rex bit your thumb? :D

The mysteries of COVID19. I hope you get back out of lockdown soon. Our nearest city, Aberdeen, is back in lockdown. Waiting for an update, I believe. Super shot and you should be safe from it all with that gas mask on!

I hope there was someone lying there to catch that gorgeous crockery. Full lock down for 4 cases, she's really on top of it isn't she?
August 12th, 2020  
You dropped TRex!!!
August 12th, 2020  
that is such a perfect image for the situation! stay safe mate

Black indeed....

@newbank Indeedly doodly...
@koalagardens Always...mask and hand washing, whoop!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond He's a slippery little bugger!
@kjarn Full lockdown in Auckland - the rest of the country is still on Level 2 at the moment. I think that she's certainly doing a good job, much to some peoples disgust...who knows how the crockery will fare... ;)
@jamibann They're all from the same family - one of them works for a company that imports food produce from the USA, so the latest theory is that it's come from there...
@monikozi He's a feisty wee devil ;)

Only Level 3, Graeme! Not sure the difference but we did have it for a few weeks and I loved the loneliness - silence from the roads!
I had a cup of coffee recently from my antique cup and saucer like yours... it is really rather better!
August 12th, 2020  
@maggiemae Oops, fixed that! Do you know, I much prefer my coffee from a big mug...maybe because I'm a big mug as well ;)
August 12th, 2020  
@graemestevens I think your hand washing technique needs a little work ....
August 12th, 2020  
Where's the dinosaur? That orange president is a law unto himself ...
August 12th, 2020  
I read about NZ and thought of you. They were so happy about no new cases and life back to normal, then BAM! Your photo depicts it perfectly! Glad for the travel ban as we are infecting everybody in sight. I would think it's more to protect NZ from us than the other way 'round. :)
August 12th, 2020  
certainly enough to upset your blood / tea cup. hope it will be a brief problem
August 12th, 2020  
@juliedduncan I need NYC to stay travel banned 🚫 to get my full refund! Is that too selfish 🤬??
August 12th, 2020  
Ah dammit!
August 12th, 2020  
Do dinosaurs have red blood?
August 12th, 2020  
August 12th, 2020  
As always, the chaos, perfectly depicted.
August 13th, 2020  
@lyndemc I thank you ;)
@gardencat Having never cut one open I couldn't possible comment...
@dustyloup Indeed....
@pistache It better be or I shall be forced to rampage.
@juliedduncan We're not letting anyone other than returning citizens in anyway!!!
@fbailey I haven't seen the dinosaur lately...wandered off somewhere again I expect...
August 13th, 2020  
Good gawd, don't get me started on our orange idiot... ugh.

Meanwhile, I hope at least NZ gets things under control with strict restrictions again.

The virus does what it wants and politicians make wise faces. We have more cases than during the lockdown period. But action will be taken after August 15 (an important church holiday and the 100th anniversary of stopping the Bolshevik march towards Europe). Politics is more important.
August 13th, 2020  
@haskar Heaven forbid that we stop the politicking for a moment!

Hope no china was harmed in the making of this image :)
Stay safe

I can't even express how embarrassed I am to call myself American for the last few years.
August 14th, 2020  
@blueberry1222 We know it's not all of you ;)
@4rky Good lord no - my Grandmother would be turning in her grave if I did!
August 14th, 2020  
I’m in awe of your work Graeme and so glad to read that the china was save.....
You and your family stay safe during your lockdown
August 15th, 2020  
@jacqbb Thank you so much - we'll be fine, we've done it before!
