Thanks God you are alright!!Aurélien wrote:I'm alright, folks, and am planning to catch up with Ming tomorrow morning in central Auckland. She seems to have ended her stay in our South Island at just the right time.
No doubt Ming has one of those smartphone devices which can also take snapshots.
Earthquakes are one of the dangers we have to live with here in Kiwiland. The Southern Alps, which form the backbone of the South Island, are where two tectonic plates meet, and the faultlines continue northwards into the North Island. We also have volcanic activity......

Re: Kiwi members?
Apologies.....I forgot to smile for the photo. Last night was one of my less restful nights, so when I arrived at our meeting-place I was *HHIS* already a bit tired. Unfortunately, this happens to us aging humans at times.
Talking with Ming was a great experience. I much appreciate that the lady found time in her very busy schedule to meet up with me.
Thanks also for everyone's best wishes.

Re: Kiwi members?
Lovely photo of your catch-up Ming and Aurelien. And what could be more perfect for a meeting place than the Library.

Re: Kiwi members?
It's brilliant to see you both, Ming and Aurélien. And yes, a library is the ideal meeting-place!

A lovely picture and, as Aussie Sue said, a most appropriate place for a meet up between Blyton fans.

Aurélien should be promoted, to the rank of Commander In Chief of the New Zealand Army, methinks.
Re: Kiwi members?
Great photo, Ming and Aurélien. My, Ming, how you've changed since our photo!

Re: Kiwi members?
Sometime today, Ming is flying back home to Bangladesh, to spend time with her family. After her strenuous visit to Kiwiland I'm sure that we'd all agree that she deserves time to rest and relax.
