THE RED ZONE - STILL BARRED TO ALL RESIDENTS UNLESS YOU HAVE CELEB STATUS

Here is a link to a remarkable series of photos from the Picasa Web album of Ross Becker.
As citizens of Christchurch this area is still out of bounds to us although surrounding streets are opening up to traffic and the sights we are seeing are shocking us to the core.

I think the one thing we cannot comprehend is how lucky  we all were to survive baring in mind the shaking was stronger than that felt in the Japanese Quake in March ...see a previous blog for a link to that report.

On Wednesday night TV ONE are screening a documentary on '5 days in The Red Zone' - you should be able to view this through their website  'on demand'.

Otherwise life continues...I will update on a more personal note later this week - we are all well and happy ...maybe happyish is more accurate...but trying to be positive about our future and that of our favourite city.

Went to a great Birthday dinner on Saturday night at Tiffany's - made all the better by the fact that the world didn't end as predicted. Bloody man - how dare he rattle our nerves like that - plus he predicted it was all going to start in Godzone NZ - probably doesn't even know where we are !
