Auckland just got it’s first lockdown in about a year due to someone walking in some Delta variant from Australia. Nice one guys I hope it was worth it. Although in all honesty I haven’t noticed any difference. I’ve been on paternity leave lockdown since Little Man was born. So my life has not been impacted at all.

“I haven’t noticed anyone - have you?”
“NO. BUT NO ONE NOTICED ME BEFORE I MET YOU.”
