There's a track near my house that leads to the summit of the hill. It was unclear to me whether it was open during level 4, so I avoided it. Today I went up there... in about 10 minutes, which is within cooee of my pre-covid time. I haven't become as unfit as I feared!

I avoid Big Tech. They try hard to dictate technology and „culture“ across borders.
In effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who „someone“ is.

This guy managed to not eat a Maccas burger he bought for 20 years. 30 years seems possible.

Knowing that I can go and get a takeaway coffee from the local cafe any time I want and still making my own because I have a good machine and make an OK coffee most of the time.

Seeing the teenagers out in the street - who are likely breaking level 3 rules - get drenched when it suddenly started pouring with rain.

In the office we use 'Enterprise and Pro' editions but waaaay too much features for home use (predefined keys, etc.).

The 'Compact' edition covers all your needs and can be located closer to the keyboard for interaction due to it's tiny size.

Finding Cadbury drinking chocolate back in stock after a month or so (one of the few things Cadbury does right!).

My son finally receiving his $4,500 refund from Contiki. 3 months after first enquiring about it and 2 months after formally lodging a request.

New Zealanders, on average, have one testicle.
