Apparently we're stressed. So far, so true, but I take issue with this:
Residents were better equipped to deal with the stress after 15 months of quakes, Neilson said.
Srsly??
We've been through this quaky business before, so we know we can probably get through. But our mental health isn't getting magically more resilient. Every time this happens, we hate it and we get upset. We feel exhausted and hopeless.

What is interesting, is the speed by which sinkholes get fixed . As soon as somebody spots one, City Care is notified and it gets covered. up.
My street had a big one and some other smaller ones in Feb, which were quickly filled in. Since then we get lots of random slumping and potholes, which generally get fixed pretty fast. They seem to go on happening, though! And we haven't had liquefaction in the street since...June, if memory serves. The ground is constantly on the move. So much for the multimillion-dollar upgrade of our street in 2007-8. That work took 45 weeks.

Sheesh, I used to live in Geraldine St. Are there lots of these in St Albans?

there will be a slow but steady stream of removal vans driving north from Chch over the year
Well maybe, but to where? Welly?? Nowhere in NZ is safe from natural disasters. We’re copping it now, but it can’t go on forever.
A certain vocal part of my family wants me to move to Dunedin, pointing to the absence of recent quakes in that area. But of course the Chch area had had a long quiet spell before Sept 2010. And Dn is full of unreinforced masonry buildings full of people. Our fragile buildings here are either gone or cordoned.
[thanks for the hugs :-)]

Are you moving west?
Oh I still love the east, and particularly the southeast. I'd be happy to find somewhere locally. I think I may have crossed Brighton off my list, though. :-s
That's sweet of you about the pix. Don't worry, if it's a bother.
