Earthquake News
« on: September 05, 2010, 03:07:00 am »
As I cannot get onto facebook at the moment just a quick note to those who sent me messages about our earthquake...

Yes, I'm ok.   ;D

Our big quake in Christchurch was about 300 miles from where I live and on an entirely different island.  Apparently it could be felt up here (Hawke's Bay) but I was asleep and felt nothing. 

Christchurch was cut off yeterday but there's not really much to report.  No fatalities, some infrastructure damage (although all but 15% of the city has running water and power again), and lots of damage to buildings as the quake was so shallow.  Cost of repair estimated at 2 billion NZD (that's 1 billion GBP at the current exchange rate).

No one's going to make an ill advised quip about the earth moving? I am disappointed.

If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

Apparently there was a fatality.  A monkey at the zoo freaked out and tried to escape via the moat surrounding the enclosure.  It drowned.   ::)

Have to say sod the poor little beastie

As long as you are OK

I did have a worry or two about you Dx  (and a couple of my sister's mates who live in NZ too)

But it seems all of you are OK so

phew!

How IS the wine coming along D? Will there be a CA tasting some time soon?

The wine seems to have been totally unaffected by either the Christchurch earthquake or the three we had here in Hawke's Bay yesterday.   ;D

As for a CA tasting, I'm sure one can be arranged for June 2011.  Whether I'm there or not will be a different matter altogether.

Ahem.
My bottle still hasn't arrived.  Must have got lost in the post  ::)

Glad you're OK Dx
:)

P.s. I assume the "three earthquakes" weren't just a mistaken escape of gas following a heavy curry night??
