Super Rugby is back on!...

Super Rugby is back on! not that I'm a great big fan or anything but I do have men in my family who are diehard fans with my father backing the Auckland Blues and my beloved the Chiefs.

So when they are busy watching their games, the rest of our family is busy watching Disney +, or Netflix or doing some other form of taking it easy be it listening to music or chilling with homework/schoolwork etc.

What was neat, of the part that I did watch at the beginning of the first game (a re-start of the season since closing during the COVID-19, Alert level 4 lockdown,) before the kick-off the commentator, audience and players paid tribute to all the Essential workers who put themselves on the frontline when the nation went on Lockdown.

I thought that was neat as every was reminded that in each person doing their part to isolate and lockdown in Alert level 4, we as a nation are now able to enjoy going into Alert level 1 with a lot more freedom i.e. with no new cases of COVID-19 for at least 21 days and those that were open are now closed.

But still mindful that there are still nations internationally who are still fighting the battle against the virus with many lives still at risk. So our prayers go out to the many families around the world who are mourning or are fighting the virus in hospitals, working as essential workers or seeking hope in these difficult times our thoughts and prayers are with you...
