  • Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas,

    Can't speak for others but I had a lovely day yesterday, thanks George. One of our best family Christmases I can remember. All feeling grateful for what we have, and not fussing over details.

    As you say, aftershocks roll on. We're getting used to them again. Part of the shock of Friday afternoon was because it's been so quiet lately.

    Do other Cantabrians remember watching the model of continental drift in Canterbury Museum? And how the tectonic plates glide around so smoothly and effortlessly? Yeah.

    You too, Jackie! I'm taking way more food than my family and I can possibly eat, but that's all good. Lovely sunny day! If we can still move after eating we might aim for a gentle stroll on the beach. :-) xxx

    Hurrah for a quieter night! Hope yous all had a good sleep. Now for the feasting and fun!

    Thinking of those still shovelling silt or dealing with new damage, though. Especially one of the people interviewed here, shovelling out his Bexley property for the sixth time. He says: "Usually it's up to your knees, but this time, it's just less, so that's good"

    Oh Jackie, thank you so much, you look so cute! Your Dad was obviously quite the survivor. And staunchness obviously runs in the family.

    You people are all so lovely. Big hugs.

    I've just made slightly munted samosas and am now going to attempt a nap.

    Thank you Jackson, and your racing cars did give me a giggle. :-)

    A pity there are more aftershocks than presents! ;-) But yeah, trying to keep a sense of humour. Just doing the pre-Christmas cooking today and looking forward to hanging out with family and friends over the next few days. Times of crisis sure do focus the priorities. The loved people are the thing. And that goes for my PAS buddies, too. All of yous: arohanui, and thanks for being there.

    This morning when it was going on for 4am and I was lying awake (again) because of another quake, I opened a Xmas present. It was this. I laughed myself silly.

    Attachment

    My cat spent yesterday afternoon trembling and cowering but by bedtime she was being very zen about it all.

    Well that was a bumpy night.

    Glad to have all services still functioning, here anyway.
    Feeling so bummed for people in Parklands and elsewhere who are having such an awful time, again.
