Happy Hump Day %

A little somber message from me today as my thoughts are back with everyone in NZ after the horrible Christchurch earthquake occured there on Tuesday :( If you haven't yet heard about this on the news; the city of Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand, was struck by a terrible 6.3-magnitude earthquake yesterday which caused many deaths, injuries and destruction to this beautiful city. So far the confirmed death toll stands at 75 people with around 300 people still missing. Rescue teams performed amputations to free some of the 120 earthquake survivors rescued last night but many more are still buried beneath concrete and twisted metal and hopes of getting to them in time are fading. So incredibly sad....

Luckily everyone I know personally in Christchurch has confirmed they are safe but I do have friends that have lost people or have been affected by this terrible event. It definitely makes you realise to value every day and life your life to the fullest!
 

For more information on the disaster you can read constant updates on www.stuff.co.nz/ or www.nzherald.co.nz/. Plus the Red Cross in the UK has launched a NZ Earthquake appeal so if you want to help, you can donate by visiting this website! Sorry for the not so upbeat message today but I truly hope everyone still has a Happy Hump Day! Lots of love xoxo Roz
