It's almost 9am. It was good not to have to get up at 6am today. I slept solidly until 0558 (yippee no nightmares) , woke and turned over until 0700. Wonderful. Now the sun has come up over the rim of the bowl in which I live and the temperature has reached 20℃ on the deck. I've had a chat to a friend in the UK. I've been watching the breakfast TV programme for the latest updates on the earthquake (another 4.1 aftershock less than an hour ago - more property affected, more lives affected, more nerves frayed even further). This morning I shall take stock, do some housework, meet a friend for coffee and take the car to the garage to have an annoying squeak I can't get at put right. This afternoon I shall play croquet.
On Wednesday we all set off for another tournament. This time at The Mount (Mount Maunganui near Tauranga).
I sometimes find it hard to believe how lucky I am.

Glad you had better night's sleep; and sad to learn that there has been further damage by earthquake. I know there have been aftershocks of less magnitude going on all week (having checked the GeoNet website a few times) but not knowing if they have been felt. So once again I first hear through blog... It's a strange world!
ReplyDeleteAnd, quite healthy too...with all that you do, you keep yourself in tip-top shape, I'm sure :)
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw the news of the earthquake was of you, GB. Glad to know you are not near the destruction, and I am praying for those of your country folk affected by the devastation. It's just terrible. I hope and pray for healing, swift rebuilding, and no more quakes or aftershocks for New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteSo much aftermath after earthquakes. I hope that NZ fares better and faster than poor Haiti has.
