Im so over it

....joking!

I mean I am over earthquakes

but that is such a redundant

thing to say

cause it's not like you can walk away or turn them off.

It kind of drives me nuts that people say

inane things like that.

But not as bad as the last week staying with my dad.

I was very blessed to be in Hamiltron

for Fieldays all last week.

Which means I  missed the 5.5 and the 6.3 earthquakes

on Monday 13 June.

To give you an idea of what it was like

watch this....

Anyway for me not being there is harder than being there.

The optimal situation is being at home

and having no access to any media

so you have no idea what is going on

just dealing with the immediate situation.

Of course having no access to media

means you have no power

so that's not a good thing

but our loo has always flushed

so not having a power is all good.

Back to being in Hamiltron with my dad

on Monday 13 June...

I heard about the earthquakes on the 1.30pm radio news

as I drove back to my dads house

after a meeting about our cool new website

soon to be launched,

so hurried inside to see the TV news

and call home to check everything was ok.

By the time I got through

it was 2.15pm

and things were shaken and ok at home,

a few more cracks as expected.

Minutes after I hung up the 2.20pm 6.3 'aftershock' hit.

A txt came through from Mags a little later telling me

that was scary but things were still ok.

This is where my dad comes in...

He came home and I asked him
if he knew the earthquakes had happened.
He didn't and then pretty much ignored everything.
Seriously, I said to him
"You have half your family down there"
and he shrugged.

When the 6pm news came in on
he actually said...
wait for it...

"Are they still going on about this?"

I then had to stay in his home
for another week.
Sometimes my head wants to spontaneously split open.

Oh and on the up side
Young Farmers won the 25th Jubilee Award at Fieldays
which is the premier award
for contribution to the spirit of the Fieldays.
Go Team Young Farmers!

On the side. what is it with men on TV with shaped eyebrows.

IT IS WRONG! VERY WRONG!!
