55441 2002-06-20 23:07:00 I've finally dared to look at the world outside my CHCH cave, it is wet cold and miserable. I thinks i might spend the day burning rubbish in the fireplace, and sitting in front of Vanessas screen.
I might even talk about computers with someone!

55442 2002-06-21 00:14:00 Well, the tree house survived! Was a tad concerned about the chimney last night (so logged off and hid in the basement for a while) and I'm still really stunned that we didn't lose the power. And guess what? It's Stopped Raining!

A cave sounds like an excellent idea. After last night a bomb shelter might be even better. Where can I find one?

55443 2002-06-21 00:24:00 My better ½ as she calls herself, wants to live in a place with a turret, and i want to still live in a cave. Can you amagine the combination? We'll have the core technology room in the cave me thinks, and guess where we will hide during weather like this... Chris Wilson (431)
55444 2002-06-21 00:28:00 the turret..... obviously! Heather P (163)
55445 2002-06-21 00:47:00 only if there is huge lightning storms! Chris Wilson (431)
55446 2002-06-21 00:54:00 Yeah. It was pretty exciting earlier in the year when lightening hit a tree 20 metres from the house. My daughter saw it, I only heard it. Heather P (163)

55448 2002-06-21 02:22:00 Ahh

The trusty old Mainland.

I am sitting next to the computer looking up at the beautiful Blue Sunny Sky of Nelson.

There's no place like Home.

Why anyone would want to live in Auckland, It beats me

B-)

55449 2002-06-21 03:31:00 So much for boasting . Shortly afterwards a huge gust of wind hit the house and . . . . the power went out .

1st step on restoration - turn on computer; 2nd step - make fresh coffee; 3rd step - log into net . Coffee should be ready shortly .

55450 2002-06-21 04:11:00 one of the joys of being near central CHCH, it might rain, hail snow, be cold , miserable, and wet. But the power hasn't gone out here for over a decade.... touch wood.

Mental note.. must price a generator, just in case!
