Well, once again, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli are overwhelmingly dominant, continuing where they left off & have not put a foot wrong when they beat strugglers INEOS Team UK in day 2 of the Prada Cup final 2 days ago to go 4 - 0 up (They need 3 wins to win the Prada Cup & they are through to face Emirates Team New Zealand in the 36th America's Cup match but both races have been cancelled yesterday (And possibly tomorrow but Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli (Who have never lost a race since the last race of the round robin against the Brits & are on a 8 race winning streak (Their winning run began when they beat American Magic in the 1st of 4 semifinal races of the Prada Cup) have done a heap of training during the lock down (So too is the struggling INEOS Team UK & the defenders Emirates Team New Zealand) due to the alert level already being raised to level 3 in the Auckland area (Level 2 for the rest of the country) but this is going to be my last blog because I'm taking an indefinite break due to New Zealand are now on corona virus alert level 2 (That's alert level 3 in the Auckland area (They shut down non essential shops, bars, restaurants & cafes (Except for the rest of the country) but supermarkets & pharmacies remain open) but there are no confirmed cases yesterday & just 2 of them in Auckland (They have set borders up to prevent them from crossing the boundary) today (And remember that we have to be socially distanced because it is the only way to reduce close contact (And they must stay or keep 2 metres clear from anybody else because we want to avoid getting COVID-19) as well as they must wash their hands for 20 seconds & wear face masks in public if possible (The mother, father & daughter have been self quarantined after being infected with the disease over in Auckland (They didn't wear face masks, they didn't wash their hands properly for 20 seconds & they failed to maintain to be socially distanced but all 3 of them got infected were not related to international travel & they might have possibly got the British or South African variant of the virus unlike that woman got in Northland last month that she had got the South African variant & New Zealand had enforced travel bans to all countries since the border shutdown) so the New Zealand government had made a decision yesterday morning to raise the alert level according to the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern & we are now into our 3rd lock down/state of emergency as a result (And it has been a month since a woman had been infected with the disease in Northland but had to self isolate since) for the 1st time since August (And it's been nearly/almost a year since the worldwide pandemic began but there is news in America that the vaccine is going to be available in July this year in 5 months time) but there is a new world record that an 115 year old woman in France managed to survive the corona virus because Dad told me yesterday about it while I was on my way to a checkup at Med lab.
So that is my 388th blog of the year 2021 (MMXXI) & my 8th of this year.
P.S. I hope Carole & Pops (Well, let's hope they don't get infected) are OK & is expected to come back tomorrow to Whanganui because their holiday is about to be called off (And they sorted out their travel exemption form) meaning that Carole & Pops will miss out on an opportunity to meet Kathryn & Ken but Aunty Tania rang me on the phone 1 week & 2 days ago when Carole & Pops were away that Canada has enforced a curfew (And they got to wear masks all the time & they're aren't allowed to invite people over (They'll be a fine for breaching or should I say breaking COVID-19 rules which are in place) except in the event of a flood & everything is closed except supermarkets & pharmacies) due to the growing number of confirmed cases in the country).
And guess what? The rest of New Zealand is now under alert level 1 (That's alert level 2 in the Auckland area) now as of today (It might have been because of the new vaccine had arrived in the country) but I have announced that I will not take an indefinite break from blogging (I'll continue blogging if I have to) & I was watching the Australian Open tennis today on TV with Pops (Who had an interesting story when he went to the Melbourne Cricket Ground twice in 1996 for a cricket match (Who famously cheered on for Sri Lanka because they were in fact Kiwis as they beat Australia in an ODI leaving several Aussie fans (They sat behind Pops & possibly Aunty Tania) disappointed about the result & they were not happy when they responded after Pops made a comment that Sri Lanka won) & 1998 in a rugby test) & Carole (Naomi Osaka is through to the women's singles final after she produced a dominant victory over her rival Serena Williams (It was at the press conference where Williams said that she is getting too old (It looks like the younger generation of tennis players such as Naomi Osaka have taken over) because she might have to possibly retire from tennis) & Jennifer Brady has reached her 1st grand slam final after winning against Czech opponent Karolina Muchova) & had roast chicken with potatoes & veg for dinner today.
