It's mind-numbing here. I have friends I can't contact. Hoping against hope that it's just because they are out of power and can't recharge cell phones.
One has popped up alive and well, having abandoned his cell phone in the office when he evacuated. One other has made contact as soon as her power was fixed. But about 20 others I don't know about...

And now we have pouring rain and cool southerly winds... just to make things a lot harder for rescuers and survivors

I think hugs and thoughts are exactly what I need. So, thank you if I need anything else, I'll ask.
At least the rain seems to be easing off...

Fb, in case you feel up to doing something practical*, a call has just gone out for people in North Canty to cook food and drop it in Rangiora at the racecourse. They're going to helicopter food into parts of Chch that are still cut off.
I heard it on Kim Hill. There's some info on facebook.
* and if you don't, that's completely fine. There will be plenty of people who weren't actually in the quake and who haven't been traumatised and who can do this work.

FB! Please let us know if you are still ok - with the news from Japan supposedly affecting you, it must be very worrying.

The current happenings in Japan must be a nightmare for all of you too. Take care.

Can anyone get in touch with Fb?
A quick look at her Space suggests no postings for two weeks.
Perhaps she's away for a break (we've just had one) - I hope.

Hello, Roma.
Welcome. Someone will be around soon, to leave a message on your homepage (your My Space).
In the meantime, look around and enjoy (we all hope).

I live in the same town, and she indicated that she spends quite some time in the library. I'll look in there (and shout "Frenchbean"?).
But not until Tuesday, perhaps Wednesday (unless...)
