Sent a postcard to Ana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The elder experience, Saturday morning pill sorting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspirin to thin blood, clopidogrel to prevent clots, statin for chlorestorol, allupurinol for gout and metoprolol to slow heartbeat. Last sandfly that bit me dropped dead on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The weather looks changeable sunny first thing now a big storm on the horizon. Not so golden bay today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a bit of shopping for the day on Farewell Spit we hit Anatoki salmon farm. The hot-smoked salmon muffin was delicious, the doggy eyes irrestible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We declined to go fishing for a salmon to smoke as we would have to take the whole fish and fridge space is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On then to the famous Mussel Inn where we had, you guessed it, mussels again and, for me, a delicious pint of Captain Cook’ s recipe for home-brewed beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Near the end of the highway is Collingwood where we did not try to attempt to enter the local arty cafe because, well, nutters quite frankly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I just don’ t know how I missed all these connections, I have been blinded by my government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is one legacy of the Trump Disaster, suddenly kookery is mainstream and science is the enemy. Hundreds of years of progress down the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I understand it works in the USA, the UK and Brazil where politicians can’t be trusted to keep the general populace safe from a pandemic for reasons of their own but here in New Zealand where we have less than 30 Covid-related deaths? How bizarre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
