Day 27.

Today a white and mauve phlox, a bedding annual. I have 4 or 5 different colours. ( you could see cerise ones in yesterday flower photo.) A calm dull cloudy day - no rain.
 Well I've been on a short outing in the car to pick up my ordered on line groceries. I didn't realise when I booked the collection time it was a pension day. It was SO busy. Folk were mostly helpful and patient while we waited.
 Everything they put in looks good, but I did say no substitutes so there were 5 gaps in my list. Never mind I have started next weeks list already. What Have I learnt from this new to me experience. Choose your day and time more carefully. Order a bit more than you need as you might not get it all.( or allow substitutes )
 Places along the drive looked a bit sad all shut up. I noted the local service station is open petrol cheaper and the local  4 square store was also busy.
 I better stop now as I haven't had my walk.     1 more death in NZ today. = 13 total.

Sorry to hear there has been another death in NZ. But good you got your shopping order, doing something new is a learning process, each time you do it, it will get better.

There are so many steep learning curves as we navigate our current situations. I’m glad your grocery order was a success. No good about the death, but NZ is doing so well. Enjoy your walk.

Interesting note about the number of people around because of pension day, I thought it was yesterday but I don't know what's happened to ours! However, your phlox is delightful with the rich purple centre. I'm currently reading back through your daily lockdown entries and really enjoying them!
