Best Photo was of course Dean Peter Beck shaking hands with Bishop Vic Matthews.
It was a real drowned rat moment.Popped into the mall bought a box of sweeties from Mr Johnson. Not much else to see though.

Anyone know their shit?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/christchurch-earthquake-2011/5939399/Costly-hi-tech-systems-vital-to-sewer-rebuildResidential Red lost to the Earth Quake and CERA are one thing. We have not looked at the loss of residential areas due to sea level rise.
I have seen the EQ as an oppitunity to step out of this looming disaster, but the Council seems sure to recreate New Orleans.

Hard News: Walking upright again, in reply to Hebe,
As much as I'ld love too go for a swim. That photo tells me there are a lot more nutrients in the estuary than there used to be - all of that Green Weed is not a good sign.

The Deconsecration ceremony was a giggle. I have two independant reports that Bishop Matthews Deconsecrated herself as Bishop, rather than the Cathedral Building.
The ceremony was even protested by someone Cera let in.
Interesting that Roger corrected himself to say that everyone the Cathedral wanted to have present were allowed in.
This obviously means the Cathedral is not for the Citizens of Christchurch, only its parish.

Google are on board and realise what this means to Christchurch and History.

Ironsides House - Wooden two story house will put in piles 9 meters down for another $100k or an additional 10% of the repair bill.
Timber Framed buildings have a life beyond 22 Feb, if we want.
I've been looking at Google Maps Street View with misty eyes of recent.

Hard News: Walking upright again, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Well said Joe.

Does anyone have stats on injuries from the quake?
We remeber the dead & rightly so, but what of cardiomyopathy & suicide, will these be recorded as quake deaths?.
Huge advances in medicine leave us with the wounded where in earlier generations there would be more dead.
I raise this as my place of work announced "no deaths", but we still have many out on ACC 9months on.
Will we ignore this community and fail to recognises there physical loss or will we keep a public record of the number of amputees & paraplegics et al? -
Apologies, the rumour I shared about Roger giving in his resignation was wrong.
However his absence from view untill this last week was out of character for him and inline with the CERA silence.
