My wife and younger daughter who are currently 'trapped' in New Zealand have managed to register for the government programme to fly them home. They don't know when this will be, coming weekend at the earliest. I can't imagine NZ has high priority at present as it is not a high risk area.
She said full lockdown is about to be implemented, and not being able to get around much more a bit of a pain, but what with uno, DVD's .... . At least she is staying with her sister which helps.
As an aside, when out on the trusty steed I've noticed the lack of contrails above not experienced since the Icelandic ash. You don't take any notice of them until they are not there anymore!
