Our Zoom meeting

One of the positives for us having a Zoom meeting than in person currently due to COVID-19, is that we see our lovely Kisa each week who is living in Japan, but still doing our wonderful Bulletin, plus we have had our District Governor Gary online for the past 2 weeks, which has been lovely as well. We also have our newest member Fiona, online from her home in Taupo, as usually works in Manukau, but now working from home. So just goes to show what can happen & the positives we can take out of this crazy situation we are in.....

I am NOT missing the Southern Motorway at all, & getting out of bed at the crack of dawn to get to our normal breakfast meeting....... So now we are going to try a guest speaker next week, so rocking this Zoom new Rotary life.......

Kids are aware of COVID-19

Amazing what kids do......while online at Directors Izzy was busy writing a story about COVID-19. She then read it out to Mummy & Daddy, & I was truly amazed at what she had come up with. No help from us, all herself.

Apologies for the photo being the wrong way up, but Club Runner & I are having major issues.....lol......Not sure why, so hope to fix soon.

A Simple Thanks......

In all the crazy stuff that is going on, a simple thanks made our day......... In the post today of all days, when we hear we have 48 hours to get our sh.t together as will be on total lockdown (well, that is how I took it....) we get a thank you from Girl Guiding NZ to Izzy for her efforts for around the bays, where she (we) raised $400 for them. Didn't cost them anything (well postage & certificate, but you know what I mean) & the smiles we got from this was priceless.

So it just goes to show that the simple things in life, a thank you for a job well done, means more than you can ever imagine. So to have this sent on such a day, gave Izzy the courage that things will be fine, as we can make a difference even if small, like walking 8+ km's. We have this New Zealand & the World, but we do need the little things like a thank you to make it better......

Round the Bays for Girl Guides

Thanks to the club for supporting the crazy Jaggs family in completing the Round the Bays. Brayden's quote of the day...."Mummy I learnt something today.....never to do this again!" On saying that he supported his sister, & the photo is probably my most favourite of the whole day......Brother/Sister love.....

We did the 8.4km with 34500 other people. Our time was 1 hour 50 minutes, which with 2 kids, who only started complaining with 3 km to go.......(longest 3km of Mummy's life.....)

Bucket list, done & dusted.....
