New Zealand is now at Alert Level 3

New Zealand Government

Alert Level 3 is a milestone in our struggle against COVID-19. We are all responsible for what happens next. Every contact we make is a chance for the virus to spread.

Alert Level 3 is a milestone in our struggle against COVID-19. We are all responsible for what happens next. Every contact we make is a chance for the virus to spread.

We could easily lose what we have gained. Our success, or failure, depends on the decisions that we’ll each make alone – but which in turn – will affect all of us.

Two weeks then a review
• On 11 May, we will review our progress and decide if we can safely continue to step down restrictions, or if more measures are required to protect us all.
• So the decisions we each make now, matter. Because every interaction we have is an opportunity for the virus to spread.

Keeping safe at Alert Level 3
• At Alert Level 3, the best way to keep those around you safe, is by keeping your bubble small. Interact with as few people as possible. Less people equals less risk. And continue to stay at home whenever you can.
• We should each be making the minimal number of trips. Be sure to stay local, and only make necessary trips.
• And importantly, work and learn from home if you can.

Let’s do this
We’re a team of 5 million. Formidable. And we can do this.
So thank you New Zealand for making the right decisions, when it really counts.

Latest Len Lye /Govett Brewster Art Gallery layman's report.

This happened not too long before virus thing got into gear.

With the country on the verge of getting going again (hopefully once we get to Level 2 in 3 weeks time) I thought it appropriate to post my report. This is the 7th time I have visited LLC/GBAG since LLC opened. I was also keen to see the latest much heralded display. Presented my Pukeariki Library card for free entry. There were a couple of wooden pieces of furniture in main hall and two small Len Lye sculptures. One was being demonstrated at time with a staff member and one member of public present. Very noisy but no ear muffs on offer so I quickly passed. Around first corner there was a substantial LL sculpture but it was under repair. Around the next corner were some more furniture and other interesting sculptures and a few art pieces. Once I got to GBAG there were many fine works to view but not a single description or caption. A missed opportunity I thought as I could have spent several hours and probably several visits to fully appreciate. I understandably took less than an hour. On the way out I spoke to the chap on the front desk and asked about the lack of captions/descriptions. He stated idea was to encourage people to think more about works. Sorry but that did not work for me. It was still worth the visit but captions/descriptions please.

Hi team,

We know it's been hard to be apart from loved ones these last four weeks and with lockdown potentially being lifted next week we want to know who the first person you're going to hug when you get out is.

Maybe you're a grandparent who hasn't been able to meet their new grandchild yet? Maybe you're a parent who has had to be in a different bubble to your kids? Or maybe it's your best friend you've missed the most.

Share the love and let us know in the comments!

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?
