Lockdown 49/49 – Swan song

Day 49 of my diary of a LOTR Fan Museum owner during our national lockdown (extended from 28 to 47, then 49 days: 33 at level 4, 16 at L3) – in NZ we’re uniting as a country to beat Covid-19 to break the chain and save lives, but …

I don’t intend to continue a daily blog but I will keep blogging if there’s anything interesting to report. I’m super glad to have documented this extraordinary time, even through the eyes of a LOTR fan and museum operator. My best wishes go to all those who have been reading my words and to all those who’ve kept - and are still keeping - some form of diary over this time. Be safe everyone, and be kind. Kathy xx
