Cuppa

Snapped this at lunch time, while enjoying a cup of hot water on the back porch in the sunshine. Within half-an-hour, we were hit by a 5.7 magnitude quake, followed 80 minutes later by a 6.3 tremor, both centred 10km southeast of the city. Our thoughts go out to the 54,000 households without electricity this cold winter's night. Kia kaha, Christchurch!
