What slicing jig does Bruce have? I don't like the one I have. Thanks!

Those do look nice, I just looked them up on Amazon. A bit out of my price range at the moment though. That would be a perfect Christmas gift though!

oops, I meant to reply to your Whustoff bread knife post.

That's just like the one I have now I got it from my mom, so who knows how old it is.

Thanks Ron

You can sharpen serrated knives with the same steels used to sharpen a chain saw. I have sharpened mine that way

DH could do that, I'll suggest it to him. Maybe we can keep this one around for a while longer.

You know I'll share photos.

I am 6 days in and I discovered one egg had a big crack last night. The baby still looks fine, and I've waxed the crack so fingers crossed it's still ok. Not sure when that happened because I'm super careful, and it's one of the bluer eggs so I'm really hoping it's alright.

My 2 boy ducks are going this afternoon. The girls will be relieved as their backs are looking rather muddy from hormonal boys hopping on. I ended up with a very muddy chicken egg yesterday too. The dog got that one. I'm a bit over the mud.

The outbreak in Auckland is ballooning and one of the initial cases went to Rotorua (another NZ city) while experiencing symptoms and did a whole lot of touristy things down there, so it could well be in other centres. Another person who has Covid-19 visited a family member in an aged care facility in Hamilton (a city south of Auckland). They still have not identified the source of the outbreak, but the fact that people working at the borders or in quarantine facilities have not had to had regular tests (a huge proportion have had none at all) was pretty shocking and I'm now not surprised there's been an outbreak.
