We're OK

Such terrible news from Christchurch, and such terrible images of the dead, the dying and the trapped, crying for help.
Like Richard [of RBB], I was going to post something light, twisted and extremely cynical about our Sports Day Fiasco, but the news of the earthquake made me re-evaluate, and realise how trivial our complaints are compared to the real tragedy down South.

I'll try some humour tomorrow.

I'm just not in the mood today.

Writing as an atheist however, I was struck by quite a few comments about the earthquakes, referring to them as "An Act of God"

Bloody Hell, I wonder what they did to offend the Big Guy if he had to send two earthquakes in 6 months

    Glad to hear from you, TSB - was a bit worried about you and the youth of your high school :-)
    In all seriousness though, it's absolutely dreadful. Just hoping that the death toll doesn't suddenly sky-rocket, 65 is bad enough.

    lots of love

    Glad to hear your ok. Still waiting for news of our relatives but believe they're not in an affected area. What a terrible tragedy. It puts my pathetic gripes into perspective.

    Good on you TSB (of RBB), yesterday was not a good day for our little nation. I know we all felt the pain.
