Two earthquakes in Wellington, New Zealand. No reports of casualties, thank goodness.

Personally, I think the Competitions Commission have made the wrong decision.

Picturehouse cinemas will be 'reluctantly' sold

Damn. Had hoped last night that there might not have been any fatalities, especially as there was no explosion nor fire.
Very sad.

RIP

Oh God I am in tears here. Please let families be reunited with their loved ones who might still be in there. My thoughts are with you.

I don't practice any religion but the Catholic church still has a hold on me and at times like this, I feel the need to light a candle in memory to those who lost their lives and their families and the injured and for the poor people who are still waiting to hear about missing friends and family.

You are all in my thoughts.

Like Beate, I've barely stopped crying today.
