Monday 11th (7.30 am)

Sorry to see Christchurch had another noticeable bump - I check geonet each day to see how things are going and note there was a 4.3 around midday. All very frustrating, after a relatively quiet week since I've gone - only about 30 under 4.0, I see.

I can't believe it's already a week since I got on that plane.  It seems to have been spent trying to get the computer dongle to work (tick), my UK bank card password sorted (cross), UK mobile phone up and running (tick) and now insurance for the new car ... a red Ford Mondeo (1998?) hatchback.  I did take a photo of it but that, sadly is another cross because I can't find any photos since Singapore on my camera at the moment (cross).

Steph and I continue to pretend we're on a diet and fitness regime.  I HAVE taken Chai out for a couple of 20 minute walks ... but with Ch at the beginning of his name, I keep finding myself calling this large, black labrador cross, Chalkie!!!  I expect the same will apply in reverse on my return.  And we've twice managed to do half an hour on the Wii fitness programme - I'm proud to announce that my fitness age is 58 ... so it just goes to show how seriously I can take that!!  I hadn't realised until now, quite how many left feet I have.

Just in case you're wondering, I know the date I write, and the date "they" publish are different sometimes.  Evidently it goes through America (?) which complicates the issue a little.

I'm off to face another day - short sleeves and sandals appear to be the order of this day.  It is still  light well after 10 pm and again by 4.30 a.m.
