#lockdownbombs Raising Money for Women's Refuge

Manus, staples, gorillas, cannonballs: I'm trying all the bombs. I'm not that great, but bombing every day is one thing I can do to break up the lockdown monotony.

Perhaps you can do one thing by donating some money to Women's Refuge? Not everyone has a safe place to stay isolated, so let's help out.

Why am I bombing? You know the deal: working from home, locked down with my own family. Like all of you, coping with the extra stresses of this time, and trying to be creative and kind about how we manage. We're privileged to have a safe house with a lovely (unheated 🥶) pool. On the first day of our four-week COVID-19 lockdown in New Zealand I decided to pop a manu in our pool to mark the occasion, and for some weird reason have been doing the same for each day of lockdown.

We'll be 10 days into the 28+ day lockdown when I start this fundraiser. Every day the pool gets colder and the weather is likely to deteriorate, but the bombs must go on. Maybe you want to donate $28 ($1 for every bomb, 🤞assuming a 4-week lockdown), or flick across $50 with a special request? (No nude bombs, sorry 😬)

I'm not collecting any money directly - donations go straight to Givealittle's page for Women's Refuge.
