Captain’s Log Day 13: I finally broke over the weekend.It took me four lockdowns but I finally did some baking. The bananas were getting overripe and I have an absolute horror of wasting food especially when so many people are doing it tough - so onto the Chelsea Sugar recipe page and one hour later, a perfectly cooked banana cake. Just as well we had all the ingredients because the baking shelves were pretty bare at the supermarket and so many new faces at my local supermarket. You can really

There's no sign of community spread on the Coromandel Peninsula, so far, nor has there been any trace of Covid-19 in the wastewater. Yet again, people are scratching their heads as to why, if this virus is so incredibly transmissible, someone with the Delta variant can drink at the local pub which was absolutely packed, go into cafes, spend time with other people - and people don't catch it.

There's been some strong opposition in response to Parliament being suspended for a week due to Covid-19 restrictions. Select committees will still go ahead online, but that’s drawing criticism from the opposite side the House, as most committees are led by Labour MPs. There have also been calls for the Epidemic Response Committee to be reinstated in order to ensure the Government is being held to account.

Well, as expected, we're all going to be doing this for a wee bit longer, and Auckland probably longer than others. I think knowing it was inevitable has made it easier to accept. There's some good news - the town of Coromandel appears to have dodged a bullet and yet again, people are scratching their heads as to why, if this virus is so incredibly transmissible, someone with the Delta variant can rock on at the local pub which was absolutely packed, go into cafes, spend time with other people - and

New Zealand's adoption of saliva testing is 'frustratingly slow' according to Dr Anne Wyllie, a New Zealander working on leading-edge saliva test science at the Yale School of Public Health.However, Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall told the MHB this morning we don't have a need for more saliva testing.“Saliva testing - it depends where you put it in our system.

Be patient with yourselves - we'll find out today at 4pm from the PM what the plan is going forward, but all the reckons are pointing to a longer lockdown for Auckland and Wellington at least.

What a mess. The images of Afghan nationals desperately trying to leave for somewhere, anywhere, as the Taliban approached Kabul was reminiscent of the US leaving Vietnam. What a shambles - at a press conference yesterday, the PM said she and key colleagues had been keeping an eye on the situation in Afghanistan as it deteriorated.And on Sunday, together with the Chief of Defence, they began to put procedures in place to see how they might evacuate both New Zealand citizens and Afghan nationals with
