Pagani Shop Front South City
March 19, 2011
I went to South City mall today to go to the supermarket and walked past the Pagani store which is closed – and as you can see they’ve put the mannequins in the window.

Christchurch Earthquake Memorial
March 18, 2011
We attended the memorial in Hagley Park today. Tens of thousands of people turned up to pay their respects to the victims of the quake and to gather and find strength and some sense of a way forward. Prince William attended and the first photo is of him giving his speech (it’s a photo of the screen I could see as we were so far back).
The Sky Tonight
March 14, 2011
Today has been lovely and warm with lots of sunshine – a welcome break from two grey and overcast days this weekend (which made quite a few people I know feel rather gloomy).
We had a momentous occasion today – we got water! It came on a couple of days ago, but we’ve had to wait for a plumber to come and fix quite a few leaks around the house. All sorted now, and it’s wonderful being able to turn on a tap.
Liquefaction Smiley Face
March 12, 2011
Someone has made a smiley face from the liquefaction left along Ferry Road (Ferrymead end) by the Mud House cafe. A bright spot after the terrible news coming out of Japan.
Today, I very much feel a kinship with the people of Japan after their powerful earthquake. We watched the live TV coverage last night in a state of shock and disbelief – how could this be happening? It is incredible the amount of devastation they have suffered and loss of life, and my heart goes out to those who have been affected by this terrible disaster. It was incredibly moving to see the Japanese rescue teams who’ve been here in Christchurch solemnly boarding a bus to catch a plane back home. They have been here to help us, they will be exhausted and emotionally drained after what they will have seen here in Christchurch, and now they have to go home to an unbelievably awful and enormous task. Please stay safe and may all your loved ones be safe too.
BNZ Piggy

This is the BNZ Bank mascot – seen today on Riccarton Road. It made me smile – now you can get water with your banking (and assistance). Fancy that. Nice one BNZ.
