When I am down there, Emma and I always organise a drinks at the Dux, which looks like it might be gone too. :(
It kind of sounded like it from what that man was saying, although I hadn't thought about that till you mentioned it. And it makes me a bit sad that, even though I've never been there, I will miss that experience when I go down in June.

Oh Ben, apart from being directly involved in disasters like the earthquake, there is never any excuse for being a miserable shit, really. Working with kids reminds me of that.

He said that there is are huge cracks running all down the facade that faces, I think, onto the tramlines? But he didn't say it like that. I just thought that was what he meant because he said the museum looked okay. He wasn't sure when they would reopen, or even if they would. Last time I was down, I had lunch there all by myself, and it was, I have to admit, a very lovely spot to people watch.

I was listening to 1ZB on the way home, Megan (yes, I know, but) and this guy rang up who lives in Victoria Square. Actually, now I come to think of it, he was the owner of Le Cafe in the Arts Centre. Anyway, he was talking about how there was extensive damage - although he didn't say what apart from saying that a big glass building and his apartment building were kind of leaning toward each other.

See, I would say that, if one was wishing to imitate Craig’s level of ire, one would say that one was ranapiacious, or my favourite, darlingising – because that’s what he is to me.

Yes but you didn't answer the question. If you do want it, courierpost appear to be resuming (relatively) normal business from Monday. Just say the word.

Emma, would an iphone charge from an ipod dock? Cos I bought a brand new battery powered ipod charger the other day, and I really will not be going to use it. You are most welcome to it.

Oh darling. That's all I have to say. If you're okay, we're okay.

In other related news, I would like to nominate Mr Vaughn Davis of the parish of Auckland for some kind of humanitarian award, for his beautiful upbeat tweets. To wit: " life toll stands at around 500,000 and I am very grateful for that" - "Goodnight Christchurch. Sun comes up at exactly 7am tomorrow. Promise." You see? I love the man, and I've never even met him.

Hard News: Again: Is everyone okay?, in reply to Creon Upton,
Yes, Creon. My friend Kathy is in Waimari Beach which is east – they have water but no power or sewrage, and they aren’t sure where to access supermarkets, cash machines etc. Robyn Gallagher is working, I believe, on this website which will be of help at some point. But of course, if one has no power, then accessing the internet is a problem. Another thing to note is that Courier Post won’t be operating till at least Monday, so even if you want to send anything to friends/family specifically, there’s actually no realistic way of doing that. I was going to send her batteries – hopefully they will have power by Monday but……
