From what I can see on the wires, people in Christchurch who don't have urgent remedial work are just getting out there and getting their Christmas on.
Which is bloody remarkable when you consider that at 6.38am they had a 5.1 earthquake for an alarm clock.
And there have been 60+ separate shakes since the first one yesterday.

David and Jen are back at their house, which is a big mess. No electricity, so they're planning on bringing forward Christmas dinner, "with lots of ice cream".

Dammit Joe, I wanted you to be here for a happy reason today.

I cannot even imagine how people are coping with this.
