It's a small world....

I should be on a flight to Auckland now, to visit DD#2 and family. Would you believe that the ash from the volcano in Chile last week has blown over here and flights are cancelled ?? Not only that, in the last hour we have had two very strong after-shocks which have been very scary. The first was 5.5 and the second one (just as I started to write this) felt stronger. Just heard the mayor on the radio and he sounds very shaken, saying that there is more damage in the city and that people have evacuated buildings.... my lights are still swinging and the dog has disappeared. Better go and find her. DH is playing golf He probablty didn't even feel it ! Just as well that the flights were cancelled. If we had left, I'm not sure that I would have been keen to return anytime soon....

So sorry you can't go see the DD.
At least mine are coming here later on in the week. Hopefully you will be able to get out in a day or 2.

I had seen the news about the volcano ash causing problems, but had no idea about the aftershock. I hope everyone will be allright. (((Hugs)))
