Summery

We have had two days here of almost perfect summer weather.  Mum entertained some friends for lunch, and they had to put the sun umbrella up to enjoy their watermelon, salads, strawberries and cake.

Then mum went out tonight to see Roller Derby, which she said was fun.   Except for the earthquake half way through, not fun.  Everybody was ok, but at 5.7 it was the biggest shake mum has ever felt.  She was in a huge building, that has been earthquake protected, but had lots of heavy things hanging from the ceiling.  Mum says she might make sure she sleeps with some clothes on tonight, just in case the shakes come back.

  9. It sounds like that earthquake hit at just the right place to give your town a good (or not-so-good) shaking! I hope things settle down so you can enjoy your summery days.

  10. We didn't feel it here, but the very LAST thing NZ needs is another big earthquake (especially in beautiful Wellington!)
    Let's hope that is the last in a very long time.
