Co-llapse! (Day 13)

Today was the first day of shopping since I did not stock up in the Great Shopping Panic! So I headed off to the shops at about 9.30. Quite surreal to see the empty roads, but there were a few cars in the shopping centre parking lot. WW was quick in and out and had most things. Checkers took a 45 minute queue to get in the door!

 Our kettle died so I had a kettle on the shopping list, but alas, Clicks would not sell me one (it's listed as non-essential) and apparently PnP has them on the banned list too, along with clothing, other household appliances and wine. Thankfully Checkers doesn't mind selling kettles, so, with family input, we went for one that is super cool and lights up with blue lights and you can watch the water boiling. Small boy comment" "That's sick, man!" Small things bring much joy!

The boys had family swim (how privileged are we) and family exercise time. I had some painting time with Jessica's help and now we have a new garden bench! We reduced, reused and recycled some of the old paint in the workshop.

HH (hero hubby) leveraged the super-heavy railway sleepers onto my painted breeze blocks while Ninja tried to catch all the geckos that ran for cover. The bench is a great hang out spot and nice and sturdy.

Ninja is becoming reconciled to the exercise runs and is now joining in the short sprints. He loves chasing Adam (I love this cat!) He also believes in the importance of eating the net when you play ping pong and taking over one corner of the table tennis table. It definitely adds some excitement to the game and some technical challenges!

Day 13. A day of rest and being active around the house and garden. It's good to collapse into bed tonight.
