@AnnaGConnell Lols. When you get addicted to Chilli you can have it on anything - cereal, ice cream, whatever. Ottolenghi’s a culinary god

Absolutely thrilled that we are making this ambitious and important industry leading commitment to reduce carbon emissions.

We hope it will raise the bar for our industry and encourage other companies to do more to drive #ClimateAction

[WSP in New Zealand @WspNz]

#ClimateAction has never been more important (and urgent). That's why we're announcing we will halve the carbon footprint of infrastructure designs and advice provided to our clients by 2030. #LowCarbonFuture #WSPClimateAction. Read more https://t.co/pHcioRaSWW

As someone going through breast cancer treatment right now, I feel it is important for me to remind you to go and have that mammogram. If it wasn't for a mammogram, I would have had no idea that cancer was lurking around inside me. #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

@AnnaGConnell I was hoping tests would confirm that a bottle of gin a week is equally effective

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

Govt confirmed today it has paid $5.3Bn in economic support since the lockdown started. Needed, but gosh to put that in perspective it’s nearly $1Bn more than Auckland City Rail link is costing. And that’s without calculating the impact to the economy of the lockdown. 🤦‍♀️

@daihenwood Totally. House next door to where my kids live are clearly having Swinger Parties. All middle aged couples arriving, introducing themselves at the door. Mind you it is Northcote Point so probably allowed in the local by-laws

@KirstieMAllsopp It’s a tradies mask. Perhaps she’s hoping to get a part on Love it or List it?

@gunnerwattsie Have you tried going easy on the LSD?

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

Reading overseas media during w/e - UK, US, Germany. Apparent how ridiculously obsessed we are with Covid. Hard to find an NZ news story not about Covid. Can you imagine if we did the same with flu or cancer cases? Not clear any good comes of it, just anxiety and fear #covid19nz

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

Think I’m becoming an online shopping addict. It’s a lockdown thing. Most of the stuff I don’t even need. Just get a kick out of receiving an unexpected delivery and forgetting what I bought. Anyone else? #lockdownnz

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

@SianSimpson Had same thought. They are dime a dozen right now. What were they all doing before Covid? Given how many we have you’d think our response would have been better planned and slicker.

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

@AnnaGConnell There certainly looks like a nasty storm brewing over the Govt’s latest Covid plan

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

@vaughndavis Animates Richmond Road?

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

Clearly not the sharpest tools in the box. Hard to top making such a bad decision then publicising it. So far they’ve racked up: a potential super spreader event; a Police Investigation; two dismissals; public condemnation. Good one “social influencers”

Good article by Stuart McCutcheon outlining the inherent Catch-22 in our current approach to the Delta outbreak, and the moral hazard of not providing stronger incentives for vaccination laggards - and how businesses can help in this

Covid Jab pt2. Jab all sorted. 👍 Did anyone else start instantaeously feeling unwell like me? I mean like 10 seconds afterwards. Damn mind games huh 😂

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

@AnnaGConnell Is that a dog or a horse?

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

Good to be getting my 2nd Covid jab. Great to see lots of people getting vaxes too. Just not sure how with a booking you can end up in a queue behind c100 people. Guess it must be like when you have the first Doc appointment of the day & still have to wait 30mins?

[David Kidd @davidjkidd]

@AlecTang_ @HelenClarkFound @hollyrwalker Agree Alex. We made so many great gains in lockdown, we must recapture these and remember that cities were not designed just for motor vehicles @WspNz
