All is needed in Upper Hutt is someone preferably named Upper Hutt but Hutt would do, to stand against PM Hipkins in the October general elections, and who knows?

Stayed overnight before the final journey to Trentham at a cousin's home on Old Taupo Road in Rotorua. There the John Key Govt had diverted heavy traffic through OTR to avoid going through the main drag and so on soft volcanic ground, there is a shudder felt by all occupants to all the houses etc on either side of the road whenever a truck etc passes by - and there are plenty of them. But the residents get use to it as they do to the Rotorua thermal smell.
And so to come home to a 6.3 quake centered a short distance away was not as unnerving as it might have been. The Corgi didn't seem to mind either even though 30 seconds or so of quaking is a long, long time.
Maybe our steel framed home lived up to its reputation.
