LOCK-DOWN - Day 28 Monday 20th April
Celebrating my 50th birthday TODAY!
It feels awkward celebrating my birthday in lock down. It is times like this to appreciate and understand what is important. Gifts, money is not important, friends and family are the biggest gift you can receive at times like this.
The neighbours surprised me this morning when they gave me the best gift you can receive in lock down the celebrate my 50th!

Sign from the neighbours - Happy Birthday

Distance Learning
e-learning Wednesday 15th April 2020
T'was the night before distance learning when all through New Zealand schools, not student's were singing, not even a teacher(s). The Chromebooks were charging overnight, in hopes that classroom teachers soon would be there.
On the morning of the 15th April at 9:30 the students of room 7 will have their first Google Hangout. Students of Room 7 will find their distance learning 'gift' on the distance learning site. Follow the instructions on the site or alternatively watch the video for instructions on accessing the Google Hangout. Our reindeer's and Teacher Nik are ready for this online learning at home.
The site for distance learning is below:-

LOCK-DOWN - Day 23 Tuesday 14th April 2020

Getting ready for the online learning on Wednesday. Spent the first part of the morning having a long 2 hours and 30 minutes with other colleagues. Really enjoyed the meeting and catch-up and was very productive. The afternoon was spent meeting with another colleague to prepare for our very first online lesson with our students. This is history in the making, not only with the pandemic but more importantly the first online learning at home with the students from school. Looking forward the journey and learning experience. I'm excited and watch this space for more details.
So exhausted ` from the long day, I did not complete my scheduled daily fitness routine since my cold ... 'man flu' some weeks ago.   
LOCK-DOWN - Day 22 Monday 13th April 2020
Easter Monday!
The weather still not good and spent most of the morning indoors. Took Lola for a drive around the neighborhood, trying to make sure both vehicles do not cease up! Another day spent moping around the house and enjoyed looking forward to my daily scheduled fitness in the afternoon.

LOCK-DOWN - Day 21 Sunday 12th April 2020
Easter Sunday!
Trying to stay warm and dry ... weather has turned nasty and the first real sign of Autumn. Still trained in the afternoon and did my 20-minute bike ride and 20-minute run up and down the drive way.

The Easter Bunny made a hop and a jump at the house delivering some yummy chocolate.

Easter Saturday!
Running out of jobs to do around the house.
The morning began with taking the family for a drive in the car and talking our Lola for a walk. She was very excited and we all maintained the 2 metre distance with other walkers and animals. 
Returned home from a 60 minute walk and mowed the lawns.
