Couriers in NZ are only allowed to deliver essential items. Doubt DVDs are considered essential. Fortunately I had not got round to clearing out my large library of books. Many have not been read of over 30 years.

Also, I've been ordering dvds. In honor of Terrence McNally, I've ordered "André's Mother" and "Love! Valour! Compassion!" Amazon's delivery times are really long right now; eBay is must faster and often has the same price.

You mean I'm not the only one who still uses dvds? ;D
I remember seeing Love! Valor! Compassion! in a movie theater.
Ebay is my usual go-to because mostly I can find things more easily there. When I'm looking for something specific, usually the number of listings isn't overwhelming, which I find is often the case--for me, anyway--at Amazon.
Even before COVID-19 hit the fan, I was rereading mystery novels in my library. It's been so long--maybe, indeed, 30 years or more--since I last read them that they're new stories again. I don't remember whodunnit. :laugh:

I use DVDs too. I also still buy CDs. I get that probably almost everyone downloads music and movies, but I want to have a physical copy of the movie or music in my posession.
I've been texting and chatting with people on forums or via Facebook.
Another thing I've been doing during alone time is working on online jigsaw puzzles.

Me, too. :)

I have a Nespresso Machine which is my favourite household item. I buy hot chocolate capsules which fit but are produced by a NZ company. I had a 3 month delivery of coffee capsules from Nespresso at the end of February but let the chocolate capsules run down over summer. Now that it is autumn (only 12'C today and the same forecast for tomorrow) my thoughts turned to hot chocolate for lunch. I just checked the website for the NZ coffee and hot chocolate company and learnt that coffee has been declared non-essential so they are closed but have applied for reconsideration. Coffee is most essential for me ;D
