The news from New Zealand today about the earthquake in Christchurch (which is on the South Island) has been on tv most of our day. Such graphic cover showing the turmoil and destruction in the city – so far I have heard that 65 people have lost their lives and the number is expected to rise considerably
Please send good thoughts the way of Michelle at Mickles Pickles – who lives in Wellington (on the North Island) – this week she is already contending with some sad personal news but now has the worry of not hearing anything from close family who live in Christchurch
Take care Mickle – we are thinking about all our Kiwi friends across the Tasman – Zebby Cat will be a comfort to you

prayers for New Zealand, Cathy. I was just looking at a photo in the newspaper this morning and it hit me that this could happen to any one of us and there's not much we can do about it. So horrible what has happened.
