The Moody Earth

Not much has happened this week.   This is what is has been like the last couple of weeks.  This is not a bad thing, during the week I go to lecture and do some work for my papers and then on the weekends I do more work and then relax so there is not much to talk about.  Since there is not much to tell you about I will first tell you about the weather and my cooking skills and then a short story about Sunday night.  Last week the weather was great, nice and sunny, spring was finally coming but then winter decided to come back and it has been raining most of the week.  I have been a little more adventures since break when it has come to my cooking.  I have been making a lot of cookies to share.  I have also made  fried rice and chicken parm a couple of times and they have not burned.  I think I got all my burning of food over that one time.  Now it is time for my story:

Once upon a time New Zealand was planning on where the rugby world cup games were going to be played.  The planed that on the 9^th of October the fourth quarter final would be played in CHCH.  The Earth was not in a very good mood in CHCH and it decided it would let the people know by shaking.  The Earth shook a number of time causing very large earthquakes.  These earthquakes cause enough problems in the city making the stadium* unsafe.  This meant that the quarter final that was going to be played in CHCH was not going to be able to.  Today the All Blacks played Argentina in the quarter final.  All of NZ was paying attention to the game being played in Auckland all excited about the game.  The Earth wanted to join in the excitement so like it does best it decided to shake in CHCH again during the match.  I guess this means that it was a good thing that the game was not being played in CHCH. 

The point of this story it to tell you that as I was watching the game there was a 5.5 earthquake.  Also the All Blacks won so next Sunday they play Australia and I will hopefully be going to the fan zone to watch the game and hopefully there will be no earthquakes during it. 

I did not take any photos this week so here is a picture of me in the rain from a while ago. 

Next week will not be very exciting until Ashley shows up on Saturday evening.  Until next time have fun and smile :)

*the only type of stadium that is important in NZ is a rugby one
