I’m in the ANA lounge drinking a Sapporo beer from an automatic machine, about to fly home to see my parents - after more than two years - and life is bliss. My boy is here watching TV quietly, while I load up on booze before we climb onto a sky couch then wake up in NZ.
One GOM point - when did kiwis become the new Americans? The lounge is full of people wearing masks unless they are eating or drinking, except for two loud fluffybunnies who are clearly kiwis. Loud, annoying, rude, everything I’d expect from Americans, and yet.
There are always exceptions. Exciting stuff mate, enjoy your return to NZ, Poland of the South

@gt12 yeah the olds turned up at Heathrow and we almost missed them coming out of the doors as they were wearing masks, not sure what that's all about noo zeelund!
We aren't the only country where mask use is a thing. Maybe it will wind down when Summer comes. I certainly got used to going without pretty quick on a recent trip to the islands. The ones that amuse me the most are the people that walk outside wearing masks
-
@canefan or the ones who wear a mask when they are in a car by themselves.

i choose to believe people doing that are feeling a bit crook and just dont want to pass it on, or for the same reason ive been working from home this week, we head back to NZ this weekend (after the final round of club rugby) and just dont want to get crook before going
As long as people are just doing their own thing...im trying to move on
congrats @gt12 ....hope to be having a Speights within the next 36 hours myself
-
@gt12 fantastic news, although the weather is dicey in parts, been a wet old winter!
As to the masks, its the same out and about, some wear them, some dont, but as @Crazy-Horse says, then there are those that wear them in a car by themselves...saw 2 yesterday, winning!

Isn't @gt12 saying that the two drunk NZers were the only ones not wearing masks ....

I was in a cafe this morning and didn't put my mask on to order a coffee, and a lady next to me that was masked up said "go and stand over there!" as she didn't want me near her without a mask on. So some people are still very much on board with the fear mongering around Covid.
-
@No-Quarter and yet, how much easier would it have been for her to stand further away, which is what I do.
-
@No-Quarter yeah....so different to what i was talking about
in saying that, i still wear my mask quite often, its just habit to have one in my pocket, where about was that?

I was walking outside on a path in a park yesterday without a mask. Woman did a wide detour around me on the muddy grass. Maybe she had COVID. More likely she is fearful of getting it. Outside in the fresh air
She may have just thought you look really creepy ?
