I was in an exciting part of a book, moved somehow on my seat and accidentally dropped my ereader. I've dropped it before (it had a study leather wraparound cover) and never had any problems but this time it broke.
After using one for 4 years it will be weird not having one. I had 248 books on it still to read, and an additional 8 or 9 thousand on my computer.
How am I going to live without an ereader?
After dealing with the stress of forcing myself to go out this really hit hard, rang W and was about to calmly tell him what happened and instead I burst into tears.
Got off the phone and took stock - I am alive, I have a roof over my head and family. I looked at the pictures from the Christchurch earthquake and realised I was crying over a damn toy! Okay, it hurts but I need to put it into perspective.
This has got to be one of the weirdest pictures - it really shows just how Mother Nature can tear anything apart she likes. This ute in one of the streets has been sucked into the road as the road surface turned in mush from liquification.
What hope would anyone have against the full force of nature? It is amazing that so many people managed to survive; buildings and roads can be rebuilt but lost lives ........
