pat Well, I used to worry when you were on the 9th floor and 9 months pregnant - and leaning out of your window to p ut out your washing - so i guess it would be worse now!!
Val Yes I remember all those air letters! Like writing on toilet paper... and I'd forgotten having to lean out of the window to hang out the washing, mum! Glad Rebekah and Tom are on their own adventure. How's the house?!
Rosemary Shirley The house is great, we like it still. Thankfully with the garage and 3rd bedroom we can have a semblance of sanity in the living room, kitchen and our room. Spent a difficult but ultimately successful afternoon finding a GP practice where we felt welcome and not a problem. I know we pose a challenge but...! Well third time lucky. Yesterday we had to find a locksmith as we managed to lock ourselves out by leaving a key on the inside. Expensive business but we have a new lock with which the same problem is impossible. I've been struggling with the ME fatigue. It isn't surprising but frustrating and a little worrying being so reliant on Bryan and with little resource to socialise and meet people. But this is bound to improve. There are crocuses and a white camellia about to flower in the garden, which is a pleasant outlook from our living room. Very peaceful and relaxing. A very different place to Hong Kong. Enjoy to the full these last days of you wonderful adventure. What an extraordinary time you've had. Godspeed on your journey home. Rxx

re: Fond memories...
S x Re building material, perhaps the very cardboard is not at all transitional? The paper walls of Japan, the bamboo plaits walls of Indonesia. I think China traditionally use immediate local rocks?

S x My comments on previous page re Christchurch. A positive note on your entry here. That's the spirit. Xx
re: Transitory beauty
S x I think the 'flux' here meant positive. In the spirit of Trump's flux, Christchurch will need to invite migrations from nations who are the descendants of quake areas of our planet, to rectoverso build into the future...

re: City in flux
S x Interesting to read your entry on Christchurch, Val. Either the (newish) locals are still traumatized, being rational, or being practical to see the town now as a preserved site for transient tourists...? How do we compare Christchurch to those of the Boxing Day tsunami and quake. Fukushima 2011 involved nuclear plant. Jogja 2006... Kobe 1995 is probably more pertinent. It's again thriving, with some adjustments at development. Note that they are used to this natural phenomena for millenial generations. The twin astronaut DNA changes after just 1 year in space... and there goes my next chapter.
