The Christchurch earthquake reached our kitchen in Perth yesterday morning, as news filtered in via tv & radio. Now we hold our breath and wait for the days to unfold, revealing the horror & utter devastation as the toll on lives & communities soar.

Mother Nature sure is pissed off, having reeked unparalleled havoc in the Southern Hemisphere constantly for months now - coming back for a second swipe at Christchurch in as many months only this time with catastrophic results.
The NZ Prime Minister said that this could possibly be New Zealands darkest day, I think that day is yet to come.
What seems to be evident, as I watch & listen from my home a million miles away, is that humanity & the Kiwi spirit will win in the end, as all that are able pitch in to rescue, feed, clothe and shelter the thousands of residents & tourists left injured, stranded and traumatised.
Makes me sad & proud to be a Kiwi!
Now I'm going to kiss my kids, tell him I love him, and find out where I can give blood - more often!
