Some of you will have heard of the huge and devastating earthquake in Christchurch. Although this is far away from where I live, in a small country like NZ we are never far from connections. My relatives are all safe but for some of them their homes are damaged. Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers you have been sending my way. We sure need them at this time.
The beautiful stone cathedral at the centre of the city, to which my forebears donated the exquisite carved wood baptismal font, has lost its spire and the search and rescue teams have lost hope of finding survivors in the rubble that was the viewing tower. It is all such a sad sad story.

And just to let you know that the QBHDEM is tonight staying in the Coronary Care Unit of Auckland Hospital. They are investigating a suspected heart attack and I am thankful she is in the good hands of the cardiology team there. Your prayers and good wishes would be much appreciated.
I doubt there will be much stitching here tonight - the accumulation of crises has drained my energy. And so Good Night to all.

What a pity! Hope you will be ok there, no earthquakes more and God will bless you!
I lived in Kamchatka where earthquakes are also usual, so, I can understand what it is like.
