It's been like a long holiday with an English friend staying with us, we've drunk wine, eaten lots of goodies, played board games, watched movies, laughed at a Michael McIntyre dvd, caught up on the weekend's X-Factor UK and Strictly Come Dancing, skyped family in Spain and England and camped out in our hallways - Flicky said it's been like the best sleepover ever. Given everything I'm seeing on the news I'm just saying a big thank you that we're not in a very, very different position right now, we have been incredibly lucky when others haven't been so. Much love to you and I'll be in touch soon xChris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-1854141012850578722012-10-31T01:33:47.882-04:002012-10-31T01:33:47.882-04:00Hi Catherine, thank you for your prayers and I hop...Hi Catherine, thank you for your prayers and I hope you are as okay as we are this evening. We did lose the internet but we maintained power thanks to are apartment block's generators so we were able to watch everything unfold on the news too. I am so grateful for how lucky we've been when we are surrounded by such devastation. <br /><br />I hope you are in the same situation and send you my very best wishes also :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-11474282221916472572012-10-31T01:27:26.686-04:002012-10-31T01:27:26.686-04:00Hi Martha, thank you for your prayers, we have bee...Hi Martha, thank you for your prayers, we have been so very lucky :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-45887873494162270762012-10-31T01:25:52.212-04:002012-10-31T01:25:52.212-04:00Hi Cynthia, our building was magnificent, I'll...Hi Cynthia, our building was magnificent, I'll have a whole new tick list for any future apartment I live in to be sure it matches up to this one. Hardly any movement through the winds and our generators - what a bonus. I can see everyone around me is still in the dark, we are so very lucky.
