Tuesday 22 February 2011: Perspectives

Last night we went to bed with a bathroom in pieces and water damage slowly drying out.

It was a bit of a nightmare...

and then, at 1.30 the phone went with a real nightmare.

Christchurch has been shaken to pieces, again.

Everyone we know is OK, but the houses have some serious damage.

There are 68 confirmed dead so far with many more trapped across the city.

Suddenly some water damage seems like an easy problem to have

It's amazing what a bit of perspective can do to you outlook.

Our thoughts are with everyone in Christchurch. Keep safe all!
