And ongoing
Apr. 8th, 2011 10:46 pmI have a whole bunch of potential entries that are much more contemplative (and possibly even more consistent in emotional tone), but here you go.
1) It's just over 6 weeks since the February 22nd earthquake, in which 182 people died. My house is still red-stickered and inside the cordon, and I'm now in rental accommodation, which means I finally have my dog back with me. I'm three blocks away from my house. I can almost see it past the army base that's now on the corner, when I walk past.
2) Today marked the lifting of the "boil all water" notice that's been in place since the quake. I have had two glasses of water from the tap so far and am about to go and recklessly brush my teeth without using bottled water.
3) I discovered today that Hector (the dog) is notorious at his day-care (yes, yes, but I work five days a week and it's important for socialisation, even if they did stick a Santa hat on him at Xmas and take a photo) for hoarding all the balls and not letting any of the other dogs play with them. Possibly I am supposed to feel more guilty about this and less amused (I am also slightly baffled - how can he possibly get them all? Maybe I should donate 20 tennis balls to the day-care just to complicate things).
