Hit by earthquakes (mark the ‘s’!) again, but still doing alright

[ IMAGE: black humor in Canterbury ] As you might have already heard, Christchurch was rattled again by two large earthquakes this afternoon (the first one at magnitude 5.5, the second one at 6.0).

Lost a few (fortunately almost empty) tea containers again, but apart from that (and a small amount of liquefaction), we’re alright. I actually wanted to write about more exciting new arrivals tonight, but the circumstances (cleaning up the house, etc.) forced me to postpone that. Stay tune for more tea-related news soon.
After the initial cleanup, we actually sat down to settle a little by drinking some of the freshly arrived organic matcha. Its bright colour and fresh taste instantly brought some much needed peace and tranquility.

    Glad to hear you’re ok, Jo. Let’s hope this batch is the last of the big ones.

    Hi Pete,
    yeah, I hope so, too. But after 3 big ones, you get a bit skeptic about that…
    But on the positive side, we know the drill oh too well and slide right back into it.

    […] Having now been through 3 big earthquakes, people in Christchurch know the problems they are facing and quickly slipped back into the routine: assessing damage and breakage, liquefaction cleanup and driving at 20 km/h through broken streets. This time around, the adaption to the circumstances happened really fast. It is amazing, how adaptable people are. […]
