A rainbow, and a rainbow of sails

I happened to glance out the window just before 7:30am and saw the rainbow.  Its arch was so big I couldn’t get the full rainbow in. Today’s blip solved!

I worked most of the day, but we did pop over to see Mum in the afternoon before going for our walk.

Today being Wednesday, the yachts were out on the harbour racing this evening, quite a contrast from the rainbow this morning, but worthy of being included in today’s  blip. 

Today there are 19,542 new community cases, with 971 people in hospital, of whom 21 are in ICU. Eight people died with Covid-19 yesterday, with a further 16 deaths reported to the ministry today from the past few weeks. 
The 16 additional deaths were reported by local public health authorities in the past 24 hours as part of changes to the reporting of deaths announced last week. “Delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with, rather than of Covid-19,  and Covid being discovered after they have died,” said the ministry in a statement.
