Continue reading →: Dinosaur SculptureI spotted this dinosaur sculpture (which has a passing resemblance to Dino from the Flintstones) in a paddock in the Horotane Valley (which is off Heathcote valley). I had no idea it was there and it certainly made me smile.

Continue reading →: Living life on the edgeThe neighbour’s cat likes to live dangerously (hope it has 9 lives!). I snapped it about 10 minutes ago sitting on the hand rail of our balcony which is about a 40 foot drop into scrub and bush. We’re visited most days by three neighbourhood cats. We’re not sure if…

Continue reading →: Merivale Building DamageThis is a building in Merivale that lost its façade due to the earthquake (which was three months ago today). Everything is still in there as it’s too dangerous to go in.

Continue reading →: Carnival Ride at New BrightonThis morning I went along to the carnival at New Brighton to take a few pics. A bit of normality for the kids (though you wouldn’t get me on one of the rides at the moment – I’ve had enough excitement!).

Continue reading →: Victoria Street Clock TowerThe clock tower on Victoria Street. Stopped at 12.50pm (time of the big earthquake). It’s been through a lot, but it was clearly made to last – it’s been through thousands of earthquakes and it’s still looking good. Though, the pointy bit at the top is looking a little bent…

Continue reading →: Super HakaI went along to the Super Haka event at lunchtime today and snapped a few pics for the blog. The photo on the left is of the kids listening to the pre-haka instructions, and the cute guy on the right is mid-haka. I love the look of determination on his…

Continue reading →: Building Demolition Peterborough Street CBDI went into the CBD today – specifically the Victoria Street area. I watched with a few others the demolition of the building on the corner of Peterborough and Victoria (it was the Strategy building). Walking around this area of town is really weird – some shops have opened again…

Continue reading →: GumtreeA large gum tree that I can see from home. I am rather fond of it, even if it’s not a native of NZ 🙂 Lots of birds visit the tree including bell birds and king fishers. And as you can see, when the sun is setting the light on…

Continue reading →: MV Tuhoe Schooner in KaiapoiThis is the MV Tuhoe schooner. I had hoped to go for a sail on it today, but unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to high winds and high water levels. Oh well, maybe another time! Kaiapoi is a small town about 20 minutes north of Christchurch. I don’t know…

Continue reading →: Share and idea ChristchurchI attended the Share an idea expo today ( it’s on tomorrow too). It’s our chance to have our say about the plan for re-developing the central city. I’ve submitted my ideas online at the website and also added to the post it notes around the room for the different…
