Hello Friends!!!!

We survived the earthquake.  All is well in Christchurch tonight.  I am working at a Welfare Centre as the CCC rep so I get to 'yay' or 'nay' all spending and requisitions.  Oh the power!! 

We had an horrific experience but we survived.  So far our friends have survived and so have our families.  We are in our home, a bit battered and very silty and we have no pwere, water or sewage but we are fine.   This is the first time I have been near anything elecrtonic in 5 days and I am so disconnected from the whole earthquake thing as we have no access to power.  Our friends and family are being fantastic to us as are many unknown people driving up and offering help and food as well as random people setting up sausage sizzles and lovely things like that.  Some people in areas with power have signs outside advertising washing machines for use.  It is amazing.  I am keeping a diary and taking heaps of photos so once we are up and running at home with power, I will post some images and words.

Love to everyone
