So, on the hook next to the Nigella black satins, there we'll hang our combat gear and grab bag. In future, comfortable winceyettes will be de rigeur and will double up as tents :) Cid p.s. there's only one person we know who wears Bart pj's, presumably half mast and very short in the sleeve! Elsie,

Was Ant wearing Bart Simpson pyjamas, I wonder? What a shame that he was on his own in reception :) This will not only affect our emergency kit bag but also standards in general. We can be taken by surprise any time! Elsie Cid & Annie,

Didn't realise that! I seemed to have missed the boat on this one, I was more preoccupied with catching a burglar! I remember feeling a bit out of sorts but I put that down to the Riesling! A great comment, thanks a lot. Miles Hi Ant!

Hi Miles
I eat your fabulous food at least two nights per week! - I was staying in room 114 on the night of the earthquake - I hung on to the bed watching the room swaying - I thought the whole hotel was going to collapse - I was the only guest to rush into reception in pjs only to feel the aftershock rumbling through the wooden floor!!

For summer quakes we thought we might go Hawaiian, the grass skirt allowing full movement. In short we are Ray Mears girls (what a guy) and Miles does well to put up with us. As for Rod, I can almost see him now leaning provocatively in a doorway wearing his best polo shirt... glass of claret in one hand and cheque book in the other, not a hair out of place. I hear he has built a bunker for his hard drives :) Cid Annie,

Maybe Big Brother Rod can advise us on our satorial statment. Annie Cod and Elsie,

As resourceful women we can't allow the forces of nature to get the better of us! As for the massaging chair, I am deeply jealous. The nearest thing I have is wheatbag designed to heat up in the microwave, instead of a hot water bottle. Looks like today I might be needing it too, overnight a light covering of snow... who knows what will happen later? Cid Annie,

I have a rucksack filed with first aid supplies, toilet paper, change of clothes, jacket, flashlight, shoes, toothbrush, etc. It is not as complete as it should be, but it is there. I also keep several gallons of water on hand. My gas bbq will help with the cooking needs, but I need to replenish my stock of food. I used to have a complete camping kit (tent, sleeping bag, cooking utensils, etc) put in a safe place, but that went the way of all good things in one of my moves. I really should assemble it again, but I am waiting until the ground stop shaking. Oh sorry... false alarm; that was the massager on my rocking chair. Dear Cid and Elsie,

Don't envy you in the slightest with all of those pesky kids-give me an earthquake anytime-it's less noisy :) Miles Annie,
