Ata mārie #NZTwits... #CW #Earthquakes Goodness the #eqcnz bot has been going off overnight, 8 quakes in 10 hours centered on Te Ika-a-Māui & a few days ago there were a few down our way. Good reminder to make sure your #EmergencyKit is up to date... We've never forgotten our experiences in Ōtautahi Christchurch. In saying that, have a cracking day all.

I have a #histodon calender to finish for Kirihimete sales for our 150th Commemorations of #Ōtautau & need to prepare a kōrerō for Senior Citz
