Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is error, truth; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seekTo be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand;To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Hope you learn the ropes here...I am in California...

Hope everyone has had a nice Sunday, it is Monday here, not a bad day, and the temps were perfect, I was able to take a couple of nice walks with my dogs, they loved it as well.

 

[davedajobauk]

Monday afternoon here [@ 13.07 hours / 1.07 pm]

Bright, 'Dry', sunny and feeling 'warm' [and, may I say it ?] like a 'lovely' Spring day \o/

Hello all, LOL, folks have been emailing me asking if I am ok, seems that the end of the North Island, had a bad earthquake yesterday, well, I did not feel it, we are in the middle of the South Island, it was a 6.5, put that end to a standstill I guess. I am glad I did not feel it, I would have been outta here big time. I hate those things.

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

 

[davedajobauk]

Oh wow!!

Susie Sis', I am glad you are able to make a connection
and tell us [all] that you are okay

Hopefully, this is not a sign that volcanoes are awakening in that area

Thank you for caring, here is a link to all that happened from our local TV channel.
Aftershocks continue overnight in North Island - Story - NZ News - 3 News

Thank you Susie

Subduction slip faults do cause volcanos to form / awaken, inland
The friction involved can be extremely massive and generates a lot of heat

That would have been a big shaker.....no body likes them....anywhere.

 

[Susie~Q]

Yeah, it was, I have felt that magnitude once in the states, it was awful, I sure do not want to go through any like that again.

Hi Golden eagles
It has been pretty quiet here, mostly due to snow and viruses in the family...but thankfully we are warm and well!
I've been keeping busy with walks in good weather, chores, reading, and crochet projects.
Be safe Susie with those quakes....and your fire dangers Shirley
Blessings to all

I have been out this morning, got my teeth cleaned, got something new to clean Gracie's teeth too (at the pet shop).
We may eat dinner out later...tomorrow I have the Bible study at church; it takes up the whole morning, I like it. We are working in the gospel of Mark.

 

[Susie~Q]

Sounds like you have had a nice day, I need to see the dentist as well, have not found one in New Zealand yet, but I am sure there are some good ones.

Thanks Gail, so far, I have not felt any bad ones, but, I am told that this little place is on a fault line, YIKES.

Hugs to all

Both islands, [North and South] are separated, by that fault
ie: between Pacific and Australian plates
and, is part, of the Pacific 'Ring Of Fire'

 

[Susie~Q]

Wow, amazing, it really DOES surround us. I had no idea.

You would be shocked to see how much gumloss I have....I must keep up regular cleanings or lose my teeth.

 

[davedajobauk]

how much gumloss I have

A good plaque-reducing mouthwash,
[twice] each morning noon and night will help that
By gumloss, I assume that you meant: shrinkage / baring your teeth [?]

We have 'Corsodyl' and it does just that

dave


ADD--¬


Alcohol [and fluoride* obtained from aluminium] based mouthwashes
have with the former [cancer implications] and the latter [I recall]
has been suspect for some long while
It has been [they say] removed as an additive from UK water supplies




Corsodyl mouthwash (chlorhexidine)


I had this recently.... ^^^^
