Hi Malcom, Chris (Kim & +1 - of course), and all the people in Chch,

Thinking of you & your families, wish I could be there to help. Seeing all the pictures of my home town so trashed hurts like hell, the images of the Cathedral hit me like a physical blow.

Take care everyone.

Yep - sorry you are still stuck with me! :-)

As a huge generalisation, those of us on the west side of the city are mostly ok with more of the same of what we got in Sept. Our house was assessed for being pushed over and rebuilt before so it couldn't get much worse. It's still waterproof though and we still have power and water the whole time so are pretty lucky.

It's quite strange though - I've been at work yesterday and today and while you're carrying on a "normal" life you know that about 10 minutes drive away that specialists from all over the world are rushing in and pulling bodies out of rubble. You feel guilty as a result and the fact that you might be a bit hard done by with a house scheduled for demoliition is well and truly of little consequence when others are dead and families have lost everything. It is a strange feeling.

And you wait and wait for the list of the dead because sure as eggs are eggs, there'll be someone on the list you know...

Thanks Rougie for chasing me up. Sorry I didn't get here earlier.
It's rather humbling getting messages from people all over the world checking if you're all right. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and wishes.

It's really great to have the specialised teams from Australia, Taiwan, Japan, UK and the USA (still enroute). Really strong bonds between these teams I think.

We're going to be in this boat for several months to come it seems.

Sad news for the circus community in NZ, CircoArts, the only circus school in NZ has officially closed it's doors for the year. Rumour has it that there is a new location being scouted possibly in the Nelson region but wont be available for some time yet. First year students are being deferred until next year, second years possibly headed to Australia to train and 3rd years are being deferred until next year as well.

So long CircoArts, we shall miss you.

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you land among the stars
