tom & i had a fine time in wellington, g'dang that place is cool. we had a lovely meal at the ortega fish bar, i liked the decor alot & the food (& cocktails) were delic'. we had breakfast at the maranui surf club one day & the next day we had breakfast burritos at sweet mama's kitchen so, lots of yummy food & welly people watching. it was beautiful weather other than the first night which was a cracking thunder & flashing lightening storm. i had a freak out morning when i woke up on sunday to gretchen & geoffery's alarm, which was dialed into national radio - just in time to hear the presenter talking in an extremely serious voice about keeping safe & then following it up with 'there has been an earthquake in christchurch, mary wilson will follow with a special programme.' then unbelievably, they put some music on! my heart was racing with concern for family & friends, it was a great relief to hear soon after that there were no casualties. even so, christchurch people have been having an unimaginably tense time with the aftershocks so my thoughts go out to them.
