[Leica] Monday Misc.

Good stuff, Don. That girl looks nervous on the paddle board. Nowadays, 
I wouldn't be too keen on paddle boarding myself.
I presume you'll be going downtown to get some action shots tonight?

As for lockdown, it appears to be finished with over here too. I cycled 
down for a swim before breakfast, and couldn't believe the hundreds 
swarming all over Seapoint in the 26c temperatures, and this was at 10am 
when it's normally quiet. I got in and out fast and cycled home the few 
hundred metres as rapidly as possible.
