Almost like a day in spring; mild temperatures with gentle but cold wind. After the hubbub of the last two days we had a quiet day, much of it dozing.

Interesting interviews on Kim Hill this morning.

• Rodney Jones: how China’s lockdowns could rock the global economy
• Gabriel Gatehouse: Why ther QAnon conspiracy refuses to die

In the Gabriel one he mentioned parallels between 1500s printing press and 2000s Internet as enabling and signalling tectonic shifts in Western society. From feudalism to democracy, and now from democracy to …. chaos? well to a heightened emphasis on the individual and the breakdown of control over the political narrative by ruling elites.

His confirming evidence for the current significant shift included a reference to that well known New Zealand citizen and Trump supporter, Peter Thiel. He made reference to a book, allegedly one of Peter Thiel’s favourite books, called The Sovereign Individual.

Paul came over, having tested negative on his morning RAT, and worked away by himself at the homestead. We kept well clear.

The experiment to encourage Blue Band and her chick to take up evening rrsidence in the chook house may be working. Karola and I took them to the chook house after dark and for this first night I shut them in until this morning. All chooks still alive and well and tonight I’m hoping they’re all inside the chook house.

There are still 25 lambs walking about in the Front paddock so it seems that the sick lamb, #021, must have recovered.
