Glad to hear most you are all ok down there in New Zealand, but sorry to hear of all the devastation. The dogs have great peception of earthquakes,well ahead of them happening, so I can understand them being very uneasy.<br />
Stay safe everyone, we are all thinking of you.

My goodness! 5.4 really sounds more than an after shock!<br />
I'm so glad you are coping well and thankfully no injuries to life and limb, even if property is lost or damaged. Poor Gandalf, but at least he's with you now.<br />
Hope all goes well for the clean up operation when it can start. All the best to you and yours.

More quakes over night - with two at 5.4 and one at 5.1 can't say they are just after shocks. Dogs not too happy esp Gandalf who was trapped in the office when the big one struck on Saturday. I took him and Daisy back to bed with me last night when the first one came at 11.30pm and Lionel stayed in the family room with the other dogs. Can't say you can sleep when these jolts continue.

More quakes over night - with two at 5.4 and one at 5.1 can't say they are just after shocks. Dogs not too happy esp Gandalf who was trapped in the office when the big one struck on Saturday. I took him and Daisy back to bed with me last night when the first one came at 11.30pm and Lionel stayed in the family room with the other dogs. Can't say you can sleep when these jolts continue. The poor people whose homes are already destroyed and those who have serious damage with these additional quakes. Amazing the people who have been working around the clock to make Christchurch and surrounding areas safe before the cleanup can start. Many areas still have no water, sewage or power still. We are very lucky not to have had any serious damage and to have our services.

Hi Joanne<br />
Of course I knew you are in the North Island, so not in immediate danger.... still kept thinking about you, tho'. I do know Chistchurch and surroundings, but not any Setter people.... thanks for your information.<br />
Thanks to the NZ building regulations too, that the damage from so strong a 'quake has not been worse with fatalities. Still the disruption to life must be very stressful. Chins up New Zealanders<br />

Hi Sharyn, Plenty of dog food in the freezer and plenty of bikkies. Have an order of chews somewhere between Carterton and here which will no doubt arrive at sometime but in meantime NO supper or morning tea snacks! Local supermarket is rationing milk and bread but at least no exploitation like in some suburbs of CHC - $5 for 1 litre of milk or $10 for 2 litres! Normally $2.90 for 2 litres!

The aftershocks continue - typically plus 3 on Richter, which are events in themselves. We were without power/phone again this morning until around 11am. In Akaroa lots of businesses and home are affected - brickworks and chimneys have crashed. Tradesmen are prioritising work requests and estimate months of work ahead. We delivered the tender documents for our new house on Friday and expect that this will now be postponed given more pressing needs. At least we have somewhere to live and the…
The aftershocks continue - typically plus 3 on Richter, which are events in themselves. We were without power/phone again this morning until around 11am. In Akaroa lots of businesses and home are affected - brickworks and chimneys have crashed. Tradesmen are prioritising work requests and estimate months of work ahead. We delivered the tender documents for our new house on Friday and expect that this will now be postponed given more pressing needs. At least we have somewhere to live and the dogs love the close proximity of us all living together. When we went out this morning Lionel insisted on all the family coming in case there was another quake while we were out. Poor people in Christchurch and Kaipoi who don't have habitable houses, the estimate is 100,000 affected. Lots of cats missing but hopefully they wil return.
