Here we are in lockdown, again. It's certainly disappointing for small businesses - but, it's the right thing to do to keep everyone safe.
I'm obviously not operating at this time, but am still able to quote up your jobs (from home) and take (tentative) bookings for the coming weeks.
So if there's anything you need a hand with, please send me a message or give me a call!

Just a reminder Elusion level 4 means essential services only. This means power, heating and cooking. Patrick and Laura have both been swabbed today as have colds and a RSV contact but we have a friend who is self employed who we can contract out to for essential jobs while we are off line.
If in doubt phone 021 525 123 and Patrick will triage jobs.
Again we remind our customers no matter what level please notify us if unwell! Help us keep our community safe.
Keep safe everyone and remember reach out if your struggling.

All of New Zealand will move to alert level 4 at 11.59pm after a new community Covid-19 case emerged in Auckland.

New Zealand will initially spend three days at alert level 4, except for Auckland and the Coromandel, which will remain at level 4 for seven days at this stage.
What are the rules at alert level 4?
Staying at home
People are asked to stay at home, unless they are undertaking essential travel to the supermarket or dairy, seeking necessary medical care or being tested for Covid-19, or to get physical exercise in their neighbourhood.
Unnecessary trips outdoors have spread the variant overseas, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.
She advised people to wear a mask when leaving the house, and stay 2 metres away from others. “Stay local, do not congregate. Don't talk to your neighbours.”
Schools, workplaces and business
Businesses will be closed, except for essential services such as supermarkets, pharmacies, health clinics, petrol stations and lifeline utilities.
Only essential workers are permitted to go to work, others must work from home.
Schools and universities will shut down, and travel is severely limited.
Events and recreation
All gatherings are cancelled at alert level 4.
All public venues, including libraries, pools, leisure centres, gyms, early childcare centres, community venues and playgrounds are closed. Some public toilets will remain open.
Many large events have been canned.
Staying in your bubble
Once you go into a bubble you must stay in it, Ardern said.
If you are completely isolated, or you live alone, you can join a bubble with one other person.
Households are advised to nominate just one person to go shopping, and “always act like you have Covid-19”.
Travelling home
There is a grace period of 48 hours for people who are away from home to return home, if they cannot shelter safely in place. After this time, movement between regions will be restricted.
Covid-19 jabs
Covid-19 vaccinations will be suspended for 48 hours to ensure they can be carried out safely.

The two things which will help us.
1. Please use Covid tracer app at every place you visit.
2. Please get vaccinated as soon as practical.
Kia kaha.
