quake update

the quakes have been really quiet here recently, except you're not allowed to say that incase you jinx it. I havent been woken up by one in at least 2weeks, and i havent felt any during the day for ages. Does leave you wondering if we are home and dry yet or not.  It looks like they have some great ideas for the new city as well, though it is a long way off. Lots of greenery, sporting complex, new central library and even a light rail to connect withthe universityare in the plan. I was thinking how exciting it would be to be able to design your own city from scratch, the ultimate in creating!!




Here is the draft plan...if you feel like some reading http://www.centralcityplan.org.nz/resources/Draft-Central-City-Plan.pdf

We have had some major snow fall recently instead. Some more snow on the beach. i would have been out to play in it if it wasn't for those nasty south westerlies driving through at near on gale force. Now the snow has melted, the state of a lot of Christchurch's roads have reverted. More giant pot holes to stuff your suspension and drainage is a problem too...so roll on spring-time i say.   


I found this site not long after the feb earthquake when i was doing a lot of research on quakes. Its hard to believe that quakes go on as often as they do and hardly ever make it to the news. There's heaps of other random stuff on there too, bits of news, world events...
