Actually, Jeremy was bunking off work for a week and has invented this
great big story about being in hospital :) ...

... Really glad to hear you're OK buddy. We've been told Tuesday is the
earliest we can expect to be back at work. In the interim there's
heaps of cleanup work in this neighbourhood. Tomorrow I'm helping a
working bee shovel 30cm of silt off mum and dad's place in Dallington :(
Take care

We are all fine here. I was in hospital after surgery, 3 floors up un
a modern building designed to move in a earth quake.....I seriously
don't recommend that to ANYONE! I had a back op. And was stuck in my
bed whilst it bounced of the front and back walls of my room!
Fortunately the TV which I thought was about to land on my legs, got
caught by its cables and missed my bed (and my legs) !
But I have to say, as soon as I heard and then saw the cracking in the
corner of my room, any pain I had was gone and I was outta there
!...then my back hurt again L We eventually got evacuated to the
newest building the hospital had but that was not so reassuring as the
floor in the main part of the building had slumped down on and angle
!! The rest of the building was ok. But man, I wasn't sacred in the
7.1, But I was f-ing scared this time ! I was surprised when I got
home which is about 5 mins up the road, to find no new damage to our
house ! It was a mess with stuff everywhere, but its quite surreal
looking at TV (as we have power now) and seeing all the destruction
and going out our front gate to see it the same as it was last
week....very weird.

HI all,
It is with great concern that we wait to hear of the wellbeing of our
friends and colleagues in Christchurch.
I know that John Bird and family are OK, albeit sleeping in the car
and on friends couches.
When convenient any news would be welcomed.
And of course our love and concern is there for you all.
kind regards
Gary
