Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
"Focusing on the things I can control".
- Jess
Very wise words. It's a good mind set.
When Ontario, Canada was on lockdown, all of the home improvement stores were in the essential business category so they were open with curb side pickup for online orders. So people could at least work on home improvement projects while the lock down was in place.
As a contractor in Ontario I can tell you we never stopped. We were also considered essential and as long as you had permits pulled before the lockdown date then you were good to go during the lockdown.
I’m a carpenter I had so much work that I could be doing but had to stay home and school my kids for almost 2 years it was really hard!!!
Same in the Netherlands
That'll be what it's like when we're 'allowed' into level 3 here in NZ. There's a lot of Auckland business that are desperate for this level. Govt assistance only stretches so far.
It’s click and collect in Sydney too. Also tradies can actually enter shops
Hey Scott and Jess, sending te aroha me te tautoko to you guys up there! I appreciate the big sacrifices you and all Aucklanders are making at the moment, and everyone I speak to down here in Welly feel the same. Noho kaha! 💪🙏
Hey Scott, I'm a 22 year old apprentice carpenter in Ireland. Over the course of the pandemic we were one of the most lockdowned countries in the world. Being in construction we weren't allowed work for up to a total of 7 months (save for very essential works) over the last year and half. That amount of inactivity and idleness, especially for someone who likes to be busy, has meant that the last year and half has been the hardest of my life. My mental health was shattered. Thankfully now we are lucky to be coming out the other side of it and life is starting to return to normal. Stay strong, I know exactly how bad the bad days can be, the good times are to come.
Cheers Darren, that's tough man. We are definitely lucky to be spared the worst of the lockdowns. Hope Ireland is past the worst of it, all the best mate.
What a deep and emotional intro! Haha. Feeling for you Scott! A builder that can't build :(. Love that you and Jess are getting creative with your videos though! Hang in there!
I’m in Scotland where things are better. However, like you, I’m self employed and the back end of our lockdowns is now hitting home. I’ve been left with tax bills that are due, and I’m stressed out about it. I work my arse off and have done for decades. Now, I’m being chased for payments I couldn’t make because I was told not to work and respected that. TBH, I wish I’d kept going, who’s health is number one after all….
Good luck, stay positive and I love your videos mate 😊
When you have that little English hating, Cranky woman in charge, you should not be surprised by the state of things.
She makes Boris look normal, and that's saying something!
I’m in England. I carried on working as I had an unoccupied project. I’m really glad I did - it was worth it just to keep on top of finances.
Good luck with everything buddy.
@@seankay8137 couldn’t agree more mate
@@josephrowley2172 100% agree, every bit of money coming in helps. Cheers mate
I thankfully had savings coming into lockdown 1 so paid the VAT and tax up to date and lived on the rest as all my work was inside homes and I didn’t deem it essential. It’s left my cash flow crippled now though what I should have had as reserves is gone. With costs rising it seems like daily I’m not sure how much further I will go before I sell up. A winter lock down will be end of trading for me after 19years.
Extra skill/style points for the kick-flip with laces undone. Thank you for continuing to make and post videos. Love the tunes, love the content, and it's wicked great to see how beautiful it is there (when you take the time to see it). Cheers and stay safe!
Hi Scott from the big island ( Australia for those in other parts of the world). In Lockdown your channel has been an absolute saviour, particularly for those of us in construction that enjoy something being built correctly and well. There are many beautiful places in Auckland, you are lucky you can enjoy a lot of good places within your 5 kms. Take care and stay safe. Chris ( Melbourne)
I know how you guys feel. I'M OVER IT TOO!!!! We are in our sixth lockdown and have been locked down in total for over 200 days since this started. Can't do much at all. Same as your Level 4. But on an upside, our hardware stores are open to trade only or click and collect. So we have been doing a lot of reno work at our sons place. stripped nearly every wall out. Lol. Thanks for your videos. They are keeping us sane.
Ps. The look on Jess' face said it all when she announced an extra week. we get the same look every week. From a one week lockdown, we are now in our sixth week.
This was a great reminder for those of us Kiwis outside of Auckland to not take anything for granted. Stay strong you two. Much love from the BOP.
Well said
And Kapiti
And hawkes bay 👍
No carpentry, but still a great video. Thanks for the honesty and sharing.
I know how it feels, I've spent over 200 days in lock down (I live in Victoria ) and I'm sick and tired of it as well. At a point in life we all must accept the fact that virus is here to stay and go about life as normal as possible.
Bingo!! The ends don't justify the means
Still doing my apprenticeship so just been hitting the Branz books and 3604. Trying to design and build a house in my head lol.
Subsidy is coming in so I'm kinda loving the lockdown.
Thanks for the videos Scott/Jess, they make our lockdown times a little bit better
Mate, you’re influence on me is huge!!! When I make my morning coffee here in lockdown Victoria, I’m humming that song of yours. Let’s keep up the spirits together 💪 and enjoy the small things 🤘
I’m in the US, the state of Missouri and I heard about Auckland - my thoughts immediately went to you and your family. Please stay sane and stay safe. I love your attitude and I’m with you we are all over it.
Stay safe guys!! I’m in the UK and unfortunately a couple of months ago I was struck down with the delta variant. It’s no joke!! I was very ill and unable to pick up any tools for 6 weeks. All good now thankfully.
Hearing "Scott brown here" all the time during lockdown just about drove my wife crazy hahahaa it's the best intro tho especially for that reason 🤣
loving the reflector on the grass talking shot mate! your videos are getting better and better quality!
Feeling it for you both. Hearing you re: lockdown. All the best from Victoria, Australia xxx
Scott/Jess it's tough guys. Think of not what you can't do but that what you can . And time together in our crazy lives is a blessing. Much love.
I love the cross-stitch! I'll have to see if I can find the pattern and make that one lol
Hang in there, it's tough here in Auckland but we got this!
Loved this video. I couldn’t agree more with everything in this video. The emotion and just the tiring nature of it.
Scott and Jess, I'm from Sydney, we've been level 4 lockdown for 13 weeks, still got another 5 weeks, maybe. We are lucky we have 4 kids, and we are spending more time with each other, playing board games, watching movies, praying together. Bee keeping is an awesome hobby of mine,spring has arrived, bee swarms are everywhere, maybe find a new hobby in bee keeping. Good luck, Make the best of a bad situation.
Definitely feeling your pain. I teach wood and construction in Sydney and we've been in lockdown since the start of July. Lockdown is due to end Oct24. My school is Level 4plus. No Joke, they had to add a plus to the Level.
lol....a plus...probably to remind people how serious there taking it if they dont realise already...Dammnnnn
That's hectic bro. Hang in there!
@@PoorDummIdiots flu season i mean covid, flu is covid now. Couldnt agree more. It really is just a flu thats a bit more contagious. Then they keep coming up w different variants. It their way of controlling people, and sadly too many ppl are allowing it.
My thoughts are with you both big time, being on lockdown has been real hard for us here in Auckland, so for the rest of NZ be greatful you are on level 2 while we keep you safe. Yes I am over being locked up too, we all have had enough.
ok
that was lovely Scott! Enjoyed every minute of it. I think you should explore your artistic side with some short films!
Hi guys, I feel your frustration. Throughout our lockdowns here in the uk, I kept to all the restrictions. With the recent easing, I kept with guidance and wore masks in enclosed and crowded spaces, used hand sanitiser etc, but in honestly many didn’t. Consequently our cases, mostly Celaya variant, have surged. Last Friday I started with a temperature and had a positive COVID test on Saturday which leaves me self-isolating for 10 days. Feeling a bit like I’ve been run over by a bus, I’m double jabbed so hoping I’ll get a mild case and am slowly on the mend. It just shows how quickly things can change. Take care out there guys and be SO careful when things ease.
Hang on in there guys from the UK, your both great people!!!!
Hahahahaha
I laughed so hard at you can just paint the door. I’m a trim carpenter too
My wife keeps bugging me to paint and I keep looking for other things to do around the house
Love your channel, Scott. I'm a self employed millwork installer in the US. I wore my Smoko Time hoodie today and was asked if I should be drug tested. A cultural difference I solved by directing the super to UA-cam
Lock Brown Here :P
What a hero!
Lock down here
I laughed so hard at the beginning of your video. Thank you for that.
Your honesty about how it depends on the day is so refreshing as well.
Good luck. 🙂
0:39 Exquisite embroidery!
Those signs are a great idea.
Hang in there kids.
Paint the door.
Do that and I will finish the painting I have to do at my house.
Glad to see you and Jess are being sensible. My wife and I not so much. We made a baby during our lock down. but to be honest it does keep me busy during this lock down
Me too bro
Really like the way you make your videos, the style etc. Looking forward to your next video!
"You could always just paint the door" is a gem! How long has it been waiting for the paint? Mine for almost two years...and the can of paint is next to it ;-)
comedy gold.
I'm over it too, stay safe you two.
Feel for you both Scott, hope the lockdown finishes soon for Auckland soon. Keep your chin up and l’m looking forward to more exciting episodes in the future.
Not to be a cunt, but it'll never end. Deploying a vaccine DURING a pandemic does not work, especially with an airborne virus (high theoretical maximum R0) and a vaccine that doesn't provide wide immunity (i.e. high effectiveness against potential variants, which your own immune response produces). Whether you're an island nation or feckin Russia, vaccine's aren't even a short term solution to this problem, let alone a long term solution.
I promise you give it a month after this lockdown and there'll be another, and another and it'll continue until the people "negotiate" their relationship with the state.
And check out the term "leaky vaccine" if the above sounds like bollocks. It's a well established phenomenon, predicted by many epidemiologists to essentially be an certainty with this pandemic, and almost certainly known to be a very high probability by vaccine produces. Who benefits from a leaky vaccine situation? Vaccine producers.
Kia Kaha guys from Welly. Thanks for doing the hard yards for the country. And awesome cross stitch on the shelf :P
Stay strong guys - we are about a month into lockdown in the ACT, they have just announced a 1 month extension. We are fortunate that we can both work from home - but home schooling two young kids plus full time work is a grind. I'm lucky though becuase I'm building a deck - using all of the tips and tricks (and tool acquired) whilst watching your channel (and the behind the scenes videos on patreon!). Love your work - keep strong and keep producing stuff!
Forgive my ignorance. Where is the ACT?
@@kiwi-kt2bo Stands for Australian Capital Territory
@@kiwi-kt2bo it’s in the state of NSW
@@jamiehester6325 I figured it'd be something like that. Cheers mate. Smarter everyday lol
Meanwhile in BC Canada, everything is normal & nothing is shut down.
I didn’t know you could skate but that kick flip was impressive. Makes me want to dust of my board. Keep up the good mahi.
In the first lockdown last year here in the UK most things were shut down as you are now. The only thing that kept me sane was having my workshop at the bottom of my garden so I could get on with little projects I'd never had time for in the past. Guess I'm lucky to have that. People who have been stuck in flats or apartments and not had an outside space available 24/7 must be particularly hard hit in these difficult times.
Great area you have moved to - definite upgrade from Stonefields! I grew up on Roberta Ave so know that reserve well
hey dude! great video. here in ontario, canada we're dealing with a situation where the provincial govt isn't really clear on what they're doing and what they want us to do. for example our kids are all back in school but have to social distance. but the classrooms are so small that they can't actually be apart. the whole thing is wild. i really like the ideas of those jokes. maybe the kids and i can create some and put them up around the hood to cheer each other up!
Scott I love your videos for two reasons. First, I always learn something new. Second, I live in Glendowie so I recognise most of the places. Keep the great videos coming. We are building next year in Orewa so lots of helpful tips in your videos.
Kick flip was easily a 7. Hang in there you two!
Hi
Congrats Rob & Sarah. Owesome livestream bro. To the next 1m. Lol blessed b. ✌🏾🎉🤙🏾
Pronounced kck flp, I's are silent in NZ🤣
Sending ❤️ from Aus
Belts And Boxes got it right! It's a 7. I hope I speak for the other 288k people following SBC when I say that we are looking forward to your next exciting episode. Wishing you guys the best, and hang in there!
7.5, extra for the dynamic pose afterwards.
Agree, we're over it too. Coming up to 11 weeks of lock down here in NSW Australia. We are also very lucky living close to water and our walks have been an important part of our day. Keep up the positive attitude!
Cheers for doing all the hard yards, we appreciate it. To everyone in Auckland, from Dunedin.
Ps. I think Auckland should get an extra public holiday, or two, for all your work.
Enjoying these more personal videos. Love your build videos of course but will continue watching and supporting the channel as much as I can while y'all are locked down!
Naughty doggers means something very different in Ireland! Don’t google it at work.
I'm in South Africa. I Know all too well the feeling of not being able to work... I also used the hard lockdown we had back in March 2020 to build stuff from offcuts I had. It led to me investing in more tools to finally start a business if furniture making(which is something I've wanted to do since over a decade ago)... I'm going on a tangent. Excuse me.... First time commenting but I've watched 99% of your videos, if not all. Inspirational!!
I married a kiwi….’used to go back home for visits’ so I feel you….we’ve got it bad in Mt. We’ve gone mad here in the states. I’m vulnerable and was glad to have access to the vaccine and miss going back to New Zealand. Can’t wait for some form of normal to return. I live and get to visit some of my two favorite places. I’m already disabled by disease, so this has just been vinegar in a wound. It’s hard. I think you’re doing what you can. This delta is so infectious and you can see cases just sky rocket even in rural areas (comparatively) to Auckland. We’ve seen cases double every week in Mt. the last 3 weeks with nearly a 50% vaccination rate which goes to show how contagious this new strain is-it’s getting as bad as when we had nothing but some common sense. It’s a drag. Enjoy your videos….we will eventually get through this but we will just have to learn how to manage. I’m afraid of what that looks like even being fairly young at 52. Illness has a way of giving perspective and good health has a way of making many feel impervious. It’s certainly a strange one. Love that crispy clear air that time of year. Say hello to Grant if you come across him on an inspection..Small world and all!
good to see that you are positive under the lockdown. Here in holland we have a lot of people who are not willing to listen. My wife told me that she want to move to new Zealand because of your priminister Arden . she is so nice. Greetings from Holland!!
.
Hope you guys are doin' OK - especially Jess, ya seemed pretty gutted after the extension was announced.
Rest of NZ thanks you guys for doing amazing work up in Auckland.
Hi Scott, I'm Michael, I living in London and I locking to your video all time ,you are good carpenter and you done good job all time ,have a good day, and God bless you .
Are you James Hoffmann now? That Chemex montage was 👌🏻
Big thanks to you Scott & Jess your videos making our lockdown better. Yes I bet you are over it but hay, thanks for hanging in there we're great full to you and the rest of Auckland.
Love your vids Scott seems like I've known you for years keep it up mate mark Liverpool england
Hey you two, thanks for helping to keep me semi-sane since COVID hit last year. This vid was real personal, so thanks for sharing, but then, all the vids are awesome, And we all feel your pain/frustration here in Melbourne (lockdown #6), Can't even go to Bunnings! Take care over there, and we'll all get parole soon! Cheers!
It's weird cos I feel like I know you as I watch your videos, but this one brought me closer to both of you seeing you also going through what I describe as the worst thing to happen to me in my lifetime, a lot worse then the time I was crushed between 2 cars as a pedestrian and lived to tell the tale. I'm in Melbourne Australia and hurting, I'm a mentaly strong guy,32 with a wife,2 kids and a dog. Lockdown 7 and it's taking a toll not just on me and my wife but my poor kids. I can't be with my best mate and his family. I feel alone with nothing to lok forward to. To all of you out there I'm super sorry my story isn't a good one but watching Scott made me feel like I could open up.
I know we all have our own battles from time to time but I am right there with you Scott!
All the best to every single one of you ❤
Cheers, Best wishes from Scotty Melbourne,Aus.
Hi Scotty, Im in the SE suburbs and of a similar mindset, call your mates often, for as crappy as you feel, they may be worse and everyone needs to know someone is thinking of them and missing their company and while you are lifting them up they will lift you also, keep your pecker up mate.
@@vesslewiththepesstle your to right my friend, I often call my mate I can't see and it really does make a big difference in how I feel, the unfortunate side is it lasts for about a day only. Camping is my "normal" get away and reset to my usual life and this isn't possible atm and why I reckon I'm finding it hard. All the best to you pal, much love to you and everyone around you.
Scott's face when jess asked him to paint the door haha ! I'm the same ... Will do anything carpentry related in the drop of a hat but painting ... that can wait !!
Here in the states when lockdowns were a thing the state I'm in construction was classified as essential and I have remained really busy. Gas prices were low and traffic was light during that time though. Hang in there and don't go stir crazy.
Boy did I speed! During the beginning of the plague I was installing auditorium panels, with a 430am commute start. No cops sighted on the road in 3 months. I was thankful to be working, but still felt like I'd been thrown to the wolves. As long as there was money and contracts involved the work had to be done. Essential was really Expendable.
You guys rock. Thanks for being so open and honest. Fingers crossed you make it out of lockdown soon!
I am also in Auckland and am a carpenter. The sentiments you’ve expressed are similar for me. Good days and bad days. Just have to be accepting that there are ups and downs. When we beat this, things will be good again.
We've always been at war with Eurasia
The shot of Scotty sitting on the horse near the window..reminds me of when mum used to say I couldn't go out to play with my mates.
Hey you might be able to hang a door but can you do a kick flip. Haha nice one Scott, loving the videos, how do you and Jess stay so positive is amazing.. could you do some more Q and As or some live stream? One question i would ask, could you start in the building Industry at age 34 or would you advise not? Something I’m thinking of myself as do enjoy doing diy and watching your vids inspires me to try. Many thanks to you both 😊
Do it 34 is young
@@jackmo1988 agreed, give it a crack
I’m 34, started an apprenticeship in June.
Greeting from east tamaki of Auckland! I am also a builder/ site manager and to be honest this lockdown gives me plenty of time to catch up all your contents and videos, this really keep me going/up during lockdown and I learned a lot too from your contents! Thank you Scott and Jess! Hoping we will move down levels in Auckland next week.
Scott, you and your wife are just adorable. This video made my day. Hang in there. Try not to focus on what you can't do right now. The curse will soon be lifted.
Thank you Scott, and Auckland for doing the hard yards. Thanks for all the work you do to make these videos.
Start the second UA-cam channel: Scott Brown Bakery.
Or Skateboarder.
Here in Wasilla, AK we’ve never had total lockdown, plus building supply stores were consider essential so they never closed, just reduced hours. I was remodeling a house we had bought for a rental and never stopped working. Still working. Hang in there.
"it's like insulation" made me lol
I know how you guys are going I live 3 hrs south of Sydney and we to in lockdown I have spent the last 2 weeks going through my collection of photo’s only about 100,000 having a big clean out and a lot of photo’s with 1 and 2 copies. Every so often take the dog for a walk to sort out my head but just about there. This job I have been going to do for about the last 15 years so some good has come out of this. I only thing is I miss going down to the men’s shed helping and teaching guys with woodworking.
Stay safe guys, we've already been through it here in the UK, and not to burst your bubble but it basically lasted most of 2020! I'm also a carpenter and didn't do any work mainly to keep my ageing dad isolated (he's 84) What I did manage to do though was convert my newish van into a work/camper, something I had been planning for a while, and fortunately already had most of the materials to hand, so for me it was ideal having the time to get stuck in, not sure it would have ever gotten done without it! ;)
LOL love your videos mate. Great stuff Scott.
Hey Scotty, it's tough, i'm in australia and we've been consistently in lockdown since march 2020 it feels like, i feel your frustration and pain. It'll all get better soon, vaccines are rolling out, and the world will eventually get back to some level of normality (this isn't the first pandemic).
If you're looking for lockdown videos, I'd love to see how you maintain your tools, whether it be sharpening, oiling, cleaning, etc.
stay positive bud, and look after Jess.
The vaccines will not end this because people can still get sick and transmit the virus. The most heavily vaccinated places in the world still have covid and some are on second and third booster shot. This virus and variants are here to stay. Improve your personal health and get on with life because lockdowns are a short term solutions and do nothing but cripple economies that are on the brink already. People need to wake up
Good on you Jess - focus on what you can control, the rest is noise.
Love your videos.
you two seem like good people. Keep your chin up, this too shall pass. :)
Chin up Scott and Jess, we’re starting out 225th day in lockdown, here in sunny Melbourne. So obviously no work for me. Lucky my wife is working from home. I’ve walked over 120Km in the past 8 days, so a bit of upside there.
While I really feel for you being locked down, it's obviously working as you have very low cases and deaths. Just the county I live in here in California has more deaths than all of New Zealand and Australia combined. We've never been really locked down and people do what they want anyway and we just can't get over it.
Keep up the good work with the videos and can't wait for you to get back to building and using more Makita tools I can't get here.
Most kiwis haven’t a clue how lucky they are, I moved to the NZ from the UK in March, in the UK we were in lockdown for over a year, less strict than here in NZ but actually worse because it was essentially only a social lockdown for most people, which is actually horrible on the mental health after a while. Then UK has had over 13000 deaths and still having nearly 100 deaths a day! I see some of the rubbish some kiwis are saying on a lot of comment threads online and honestly, they really need to seriously check their privilege.
Always lovely to see Jess in the videos, keep up the work both of yous.
0:40 That "eat a dick" embroidery made my day...
Poor Jess. I so get how you feel.
I live in Denmark, and both my wife and I work in the entertainment industry, she's a singer, and I work with various bands here, taking care of their instruments on tour, but December 9th last year we got shut down, and we couldn't work until the restrictions got lifted on May 6th this year, it was the longest 5 months of my life.
On top of that we had a cold, wet and grey winter, so going out doing walks was just no fun, so consider it a total win for you guys, that your surroundings are sooo beautiful, and that spring is coming.
Keeping my fingers crossed, that it'll only be another week. Hang in there you guys.
Well being a fellow Commonwealther if that is even a word I will say that it is likely the Film and TV industry in New Zealand or Australia is likely as buoyant as it is here in Canada. Some of us in the production side have turned to doing carpentry work for the streaming companies that are going gangbusters. I would say that given SB considerable skill level he may consider contacting the union for Film and TV workers... here it is IATSE... and see if he can get some carpentry work with those set builders etc. We all wore masks and had proximity lanyards to make sure we were far enough apart . Tested every week and so on. Mind you pre pandemic there was always a huge demand for carpenters but fairly low supply of resonably qualified people. So Mr Brown it may be worth a look into the set making world.
Keep smiling!! You will come out the other side guys and appreciate the little daily thing we do even more once your out of lockdown.
One carpenter to another Scott it’s a joy to watch your videos👌 hang in there buddy!!
I'm in Texas and really, common sense for now prevails and the more people become exposed and rear their natural immunity
(which is over 80% of us) the sooner we all can go back to our work, and lives and dump all this insanity!!!!
It brings me joy to see you two together and a glimpse of the life you share together. Hang in there Scott, were all over it lol. Thanks for amazing content and the knowledge you’ve freely shared over the years.
Why are you not allowed to work on construction sites? In Germany we always could, I mean the houses needs roofs and stuff so it is important to finish the refurbishments etc
Because the workers need to travel to the sites, the delivery drivers have to deliver, all these people pose a risk of transmission of the virus
@@jamesryle8132 Germany kept its factories running throughout without major outbreaks using typical German efficiency to manage risk.
@@jamesryle8132 I know. Mhh thats hard for all! What about constructions on public buildings such as Hospitals or schools?
@@bunning63 Yes Germany did very well but sadly had very high rates of COVID-19 at the beginning of this year
We are with you, but we are fully open with cases surging. It's like another world here, everything open, people fighting and cases roaring. Thank your lucky stars it will be back to normal soon.
Lockdown Scott Brown gives me anxiety watching you caged up 😅
Hang in there you guys. I understand how tough it is in my own right. Im not even in a metro area in Australia, and suffering similar fates. Keep your heads up and reach out and talk to some people if you need to. You aren't alone.
You worry about your business, but the lockdown enthusiast do not.
Yeah, that's a new culture isn't it? The lockdown enthusiast. Met many of those absolutely love the lifestyle. Bit of a concern.
There is no enthusiasm for lockdown, but they are essential to stop the spread of Covid 19 and the Delta variant. Our health system could not cope with the numbers if it got out of control, as we have seen in the US and NSW for just two examples.
@@ericwolff6059 Maybe you will have a country and economy after this entire mess is over, I certainly hope so.
I feel you. I work in the live event industry and we couldn't work for almost a year over here in Europe. This summer was good but we are anxiously looking at the winter...hang in there mate!
Edit: just realized this is a month old and you are back to work already. Great to hear!
I know it's hard. Lockdowns are tough mentally, financially and are scary. Fingers crossed your cases remain low. I know it might not look like it, but let me tell you, NZ is a great role model how to deal with this pandemic, and at least people who are not stupid, envy you guys. I hope vaccinations help you even more. I'm writing this from Europe, where some countries are doing well with vaccinations and measures, unfortunately some are not (where I'm stuck at the moment), and there aren't any effective measures, people are not getting the vaccines (some are just expiring unused) and the worst part, people are dying in record numbers.
Stay positive and enjoy Spring as much as you can.
Yet the the Government says they care about you the people ... Wake up !!!
Nothing to do with Covid ...
Great video product! Loved the camera angles, timing, editing. Good on ya! Thanks, mate. over the kick Flip (10!)
I will say that a lockdown or something resembling it is common in many other areas of the world. The difference is that your country tackles it immediately and does it intensely over a shorter period of time to get cases to 0, while the rest of us are just trying to keep from losing too many people and lived through a lot more social distancing and day-to-day complications persistently for the last 18+ months. I would go with NZ's response, given it is a set of islands and can get cases to zero, any day over what we've gone through. Stay strong!
Hope you are trying to keep a positive outlook. I’m from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and have been in lockdown for over 200 days so I certainly know how you feel. Love your videos as I'm sure the rest of your fans do so keep it up 😊
