Thinking of you all in Italy. Take care and Kia Kaha as we say here in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Re: Earthquake
Just been into town (for a calming chamomile tea!) It's like it's a Saturday, everyone's milling about the centre and no-one's working. There were fire engines and ambulances in the centre but I think it was just a precaution. Felt another short one while we were out.

Hope you're all ok and that the aftershocks don't go on too long. Having to deal with those is the worst as you just don't get a break. It does get better with time!

Re: Earthquake
A frightening experience for all of you up there. The news arriving isn't good either, with so many casualties whilst folk are at work. The thoughts of my family and myself are with you all.'o nonno

Re: Earthquake
My dad just rang to check on us after hearing the news on the radio.
I just turned on the news here and they're saying at least 10 people are dead and they fear more are trapped under a collapsed building.
Bloody awful news.

Daughter has just got in from school. They spent half the morning outside and not in the classrooms.
