One Year On
One year ago today, the people of Christchurch thought we’d had a disaster, but we had no idea how much worse it was going to get as the year progressed. Unbelievable really that it’s been a year – it seems like it was only yesterday, yet in another way it also seems like we’ve been…
Repeat Performance
Remember those pictures of snow I posted a few weeks back? I might as well just re-post them – it looks exactly the same out there again today. Which means another day off work! We we closed yesterday too, though the snow wasn’t as heavy as it is this morning (well, at least in Christchurch…
Kitty Prozac
Poor George has stress cystitis again 🙁 The vet said he’s been seeing a lot of it lately, what with the earthquakes, and with all the people who have had to move house, so their cats are busy staking out new territories and upsetting the balance of power among all the other cats in the…

Still alive
Another couple of big aftershocks yesterday – a 5.5 and a 6.0. Big enough that we evacuated our building at work after the first one (the 5.5), though there wasn’t much real damage that I could see – just the usual ceiling panels down and a bit more plaster falling off the walls. Still, it’s…
