Another week

Its been pretty quiet up here. Still flat after Yasi. Headaches galore, but aaahhh well, they'll go away. More important things in life.

How bad is Christchurch today?! How much more natural disasters can this part of the world take. The governments will have no money soon to fix anything! Feel so sad for the kiwis. We at least had warning that a cyclone was coming and had time to prepare and bunker down. They were strolling along minding their own business and then boom, buildings falling down. So devastating.

Rang mum and dad today - still can't believe their mobile worked in the middle of the ocean. For those who don't know, mum and dad left Melbourne on 12th Feb for a 13 day cruise around NZ. I knew they were already steaming home but rang mum and asked if they had gotten to dock in Christchurch/Lyttleton last week and they did (they weren't sure before they left if they would be due to Sept earthquake last year). I then asked if they went to the cathedral and they said they went to the square where it was. I then told her what had happened as they hadn't heard anything about it on the cruise. They sounded a bit shocked. Yet again, one of their holidays has disaster after they've left (they left Egypt 3 days before the bus massacre all those years ago). Anyway, they will be back in Melbourne tomorrow morning.

Had a great lunch with my masseuse Tania on Sunday at my favourite restaurant. The weather was perfect.

Better go clean the house and start prepping for the weekend.
