@robertrea What an amazing story, thanks for sharing. Special to have had that unique experience and to be part of a moment in history (or many moments as it transpired!)

So that was a night of my life I won’t get back. I never really intended to queue up for so long, but hey, you do the first hour and it’s all quite fun, and the second isn’t so bad, because you’re chatting to all the people around you and stuffing your face with sweets. And then

@bexquilliam I love gutter board! How cool. I think I may need one.

@WgtnCC @mrlcurry Total aside, but Simone can I just say I think you do a bloody amazing job replying to social media queries. Not easy in a city the size of Welly.

@mrlcurry Kia ora Mary, you'll need to remove lids, pumps and triggers from glass, but it's ok to leave the metal sleeve on your wine bottles etc. 😊 Ngā mihi ^Simone

Mōrena, @WgtnCC - do you have to remove the metal sleeve and/or plastic pourer when recycling glass bottles? I couldn't find info on your (really good!) recycling myths page and have found conflicting information on other websites...please advise! Ngā mihi

@Shab_d @bexquilliam It's definitely pretty random. My youngest son was all over me when older son and I had Covid and we made no attempts to isolate. He sailed through and then a month later caught it in a mass outbreak in his class at school. Go figure.

@bexquilliam I coughed and sneezed all over everyone, shared a bed with the kids, scattered my dirty tissues everywhere and shared my drink bottle with my husband and nobody caught it off me.

@Rafa71752470 @Dianne_Khan @avocato_bob No "emotionsisms" involved. Bob's graph does not show the data from the spike I was referring to, in covid cases in our school community. I'd be very happy to see that in graph form but I'm not sure Bob has that info to hand.

In other news, our school's mask mandate is back as of tomorrow, as ~10% of Y7-8 now have Covid! 😳 One can't help but wonder whether we might have avoided such a spike if schools had kept the mask mandate all along... 🤔

@Dianne_Khan That said, a week earlier might have been better and we might not be in this pickle!

@Dianne_Khan My son, who is one of those 10%, did make that correlation yesterday and thought school might just want to reconsider the whole mask bizzo. And they have. Pleased to see a quick response to the spike.

@Dianne_Khan 80s heardle and 90s heardle exist? Holy shit! That's the great news I needed to hear today

I got today's Heardle ✅ I got today's 90s Heardle ✅ I did not get today's 80s Heardle ❌ As Meatloaf would say, two outta three ain't bad 🎶🎵🎶

@Dianne_Khan God, that never gets old. So good.

It's the law

@StephDyhrberg @johnonz49 I reckon you'll test positive in due course. Mine started with fevers. Felt so cold on a Monday night that even a really hot bath couldn't warm me up. Negative test. Shivered and shook all night long, got progressively worse and was positive within 7 seconds early Tues morning.

@nickbakernz I love that the final is basically chicken noodle soup (the mundane version) vs chicken noodle soup (the insanely delicious, spicy with lots of extras as well as just chicken and noodles version)

This is the final of #NZSoup which runs until around 8pm tonight. Laksa currently leads Chichen Noodle and is looking good for an upset win. #LockdownPoll

@skweeza I love quordle. Way more fun than wordle :)

Daily Quordle 78 🟥9️⃣ 5️⃣7️⃣ ⁦@HanHend⁩ this is crazy and so addictive. Thanks for telling me about it x quordle.com

@FoxyLustyGrover The Shining. Age 11 or 12. Gulp.

I'm curious now. What was the first Stephen King book you read and how old were you? Mine is IT and I was eleven.

@vivsterNZ On it :) Thank you.

@vivsterNZ If it's on next holidays too I might make a trip north :) Thanks for checking!

@vivsterNZ Holy shit, is this a real thing? I have a sword obsessed 12 year old with a house full of LARP swords and we sword fight every day. This would be his dream. If only it was in Wellington! Or if it's a holiday programme we might have to relocate sometime.

@VenerableDonkey Seems to be a mix, in my experience. In my household I caught covid (probably at the gym) and then my high school age son caught it from me and the primary school son remains in the clear despite much close contact. I expected school to be the spreader but it wasn't for us.

@FoxyLustyGrover I'm assuming this has been covered?
