After one hundred and seven days in lockdown, Auckland finally moved into the traffic light system on Friday.
Suddenly my life as an Uber driver kicked into high gear again, as my daughter was allowed back into her dance school – so nice not to have to rearrange the furniture anymore for zoom lessons – and end of school term celebrations with mates took place. It was great to see the kids hanging with their friends – a good way to end what has been a pretty … what’s the word, a pretty crap year.
As I drove around town, it was fabulous to see Auckland alive again – restaurants and pubs packed with people outside, clearly excited to be reconnecting, and businesses hugely relieved to be on the long road of recovery.
Friday I snuck off to the movies. The cinema offers the perfect retreat from sticky hot summery weather, and the big screen was just heaven.
There are always pros and cons of entering and leaving…
