Ready for work, no heating, no drinkable water and  no hot food, but we are open
I had to soothe my jangled nerves, all May of course, plus BBC Good Food, yum
Yes that's me, ready for work this morning, we opened yesterday I not sure if we are mad or just stupid and only on one client turned up.He was from out of the city, were they don't really have a clue what's going on and we told his staff ( we had no drinking water, no heating, or electricity for the fridge and microwave) and they took him back Thank God! so we all went home at 10.am. I really din't want to be there.  Today we went in under the same conditions and  15 turned up, it was cold as you can see but I was prepared. Heaps of after shocks some very large and the liqufaction is bad but not as bad as Feb 22nd, the roads are munted again, me little car has met some holes which could swallow me whole.Love Aunt Bee. The quakes on Monday are from a new fault not previously known, how lucky are we to have so many new faults, at this rate we will have earthquakes till next year. All I can say is "bugger".

  1. It is all so terrible, but good on you with retaining some humour about the whole thing. I just can't imagine what it is like - stay warm and safe - be careful of those big holes, my Dad was telling me the size of them!

  2. It all must feel like the end of the world. Try your best to stay safe and sane! although it must be increasingly difficult as your world literally splits apart. We are so used to benign weather (although usually dull and grey) that a quake or quakes would leave us in a state of constant panic. How you manage to cope I am not sure.

  6. Poor you - I can't imagine what you've been through in Christchurch. Met some people here recently who have relatives there and they were telling us all about it - dreadful We went to NZ and visited Christchurch a few years ago. Such a beautiful country. Thinking of you and your family. Abby x
