Yesterday was the last time me and the Missus see Moonbase Junior and his parents for maybe 3 months. We all have different battles to face: pregnancy and giving birth, asthma and knee post-op recovery, with one thing binding them all. Coronavirus and the threat it poses to everyone.
So the two families that make up our little world are self-isolating, each in their own homes. Our Son in Law will continue to work as he's a key worker. Moonbase Junior will continue to go to Nursery as he's a key worker's kid.
In the meantime we met and ate together yesterday for the last time this Spring.
Junior and me got down to some serious playing too!
I took these shots while Junior played with an old Matchbox Tracy island I found in the attic.
Junior loves torches and the Batmobile so naturally they went in.
The palm tops are missing on this old beat-up example but we found a couple in his Playmobile box.
After all these years even the battery-operated comm-portraits still worked at the back. Junior loved those especially Lady Penelope!
We discovered that his torch had a lantern setting, where the top pulls up like a lighthouse!
Hope the Tracy family didn't mind us taking over the island for a while.
Did you/ do you have a Tracy Island?
Never had a Tracy Island when little, but a few years ago I did get a Japanese kit, not sure of the make. I have mentioned this before.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you will not be able to see the other members of your family for so long. Things have not yet reached this point in NZ, but I doubt it will be much longer. Now 66 cases. From tomorrow the buses in Auckland will no longer accept cash fares, only plastic cards. Take care.
Updating what I wrote yesterday, now 102 confirmed cases in NZ. There is a four-level Alert system introduced last week at Level 2, jumped to Level 3 today, and goes to Level 4 on Wednesday. All non essential businesses to close, since my job is deemed non essential I was sent home at 2pm. Lock down for a month, perhaps more. To be enforced by the Police and Army. In NZ! Here the Army is usually only seen during floods and earthquakes, not patrolling the streets. Schools will also close. At least I will have time to catch up on a lot of old movies, and do some more writing.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone, and good luck.
