Sitting Around Waiting

Wednesday 23rd February, 2011

The TV is still full of yesterdays earthquake in Christchurch.  Overnight they pulled some more survivors from the rubble but so far today I have heard of only one woman being rescued.  They also fear that more of the buildings will collapse.  I don't hold out much hope for anymore survivors.

I am waiting, waiting, waiting for the roller door people to come.  It is now 3.00pm and they still haven't shown up.  I rang Tony earlier and he rang them and they said that we are booked in for this afternoon.  I hope they won't be too much longer.

The guy for the roller door finally showed up.  He informs me that they can only replace one wheel for now as they have run out.  What's with that?  You would think that seeing they had known that both wheels needed replacing, they would have put two aside.  Oh well, he will just have to come back another day.



When Tony came home from work he had to put a power point on the ceiling for the door controller.  Lucky he is a qualified electrician.  Apparently the roller door people don't do that, that's up to the householder to organise an electrician.  They said we should have the other wheel in about a week.  Yeah we'll see.
