My folks felt it in Timaru.

Great news about the Triumph being returned.

Felt 'better' than that. We were wagering on it being a low 5. I want my money back.

Felt bloody awfully out here.

Had stuff move in the kitchen shelves.

Bloody woke me up from a nana nap, just rattled the shit out of my room, bugger

What surprises me is that there have been another 7 or so during the day, in the 3-range. Didn't feel a thing.

I must be getting used to them. I just carried on washing the dishes.

Just found out that my doctor who I had been visiting in the CTV building 20 minutes before the 22 Feb quake has finally been named amongst the dead. One of their surviving staff told me last Saturday that he was amongst the missing and I thought I'd accepted that he was gone. Surprised then that hearing him named still felt like someone has kicked me in the guts.

RIP Allan.

That one went on for a while, longer than other aftershocks of a similar size.

I been using the cycle lanes a bit too with no drama. I was following a guy on an unregistered GN250 up Johns Road on Wednesday afternoon though and saw a guy in a Hilux(?) swerve to block him out of the cycle lane when traffic was at a crawl.

Hey, this business is tiring enough just reading about it without actually having to experience it!

Good luck people!
