Christchurch

Oh dear. Poor Christchurch. Poor New Zealand. How very terrible. I do hope that my bloggy friends and their families are as all right as anyone could be in these awful circumstances.

  1. Dreadful.

    My Good friend rosie was there visiting her family in Christchurch, went to lunchwuth her sister and was eating soup in a restaurant when the restaurant collapsed.
    She hid under the table and wasnt squashed.

    She is now using a hole in the back garden as a toilet though, but says she has at least got water AND power.

    terrible. terrible terrible.
    There was a swarm of hercules aircraft overhead that night, heading across the Tasman sea, full of soldiers, police, firemen and rescue workers. It was like being in the war.


    My cousin, meanwhile, was in a cyclone in the other direction, in WA.


    Who'd live anywhere NEAR here????

    The magnitude for NZ has been compared to the 9/11 for the USA.
    Sophie, a secret reader of your blog, until now and thank you for sharing your life!
