life goes on...
...in the rest of the world, Marion. If there's news of you still having aftershocks over there it's hidden somewhere in the back pages of the newspapers. Thanks for keeping us up to date with it all. We did, however, know that your storm was coming. Apparently it was the size of Australia!!? So lucky for Christchurch that it was mainly on the other side of the island? I wonder how Bee faired in Auckland.......I had an email from her yesterday but she didn't mention it, which is probably a good sign. She's having loads of trouble with her internet and can only get on intermittently if at all, apparently.I've been using up sick days again. Have taken 2 weeks' sick leave and 2 weeks' school holidays to recover from a gallbladder operation last Monday. Only one gallstone but the size of a big olive and BLACK. [More than anyone wants to know? LOL Sorry ;-) ] Back home in my own bed (well, the spare one, actually, as my tossing and turning in order to get comfortable the first night home kept hubby awake all night, poor dear.)
The drought has broken in many parts of the country and particularly our state. We've had 2 months of above average rainfall; the reservoirs are almost full and usually dry rivers are running again - something which hasn't happened for quite a few years. So even though it's Spring and we're looking forward to the warmth, no-one seems to be complaining when we get a few more drops of precious rainfall for the water tanks, etc. The whole week looks to be grey and dreary. A good reason to stay inside.
