After many years of lucking I found this store in France  ---->   www.tictactime that actually sells what I wanted.  Only problem being they only post within Europe.
Long story short - after many anxious moments it has arrived here via a relay etc.
even the sec hand has a bear - is it not real cute!!
Thanks  L'il o'l smilie for acting as a postie - I owe you one!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Obviously I must be a very lucky guy!!

Christchurch mag 6.3 earthquake February 22

yes well - dunno if you can read the small print?! Had to scan this with the printer gadget thingie - as I could not find it on the web.  This photo was published in this mornings edition of "The Press" and apparently by last night there have been  120 000 Tonnes of silt been shifted - sits in a landfill atm. (60 000 tones yet to be shifted) And yes -I can confirm that the forecast nor-west winds are here can make life pretty unpleasant. The stuff is so fine - it is like talcum powder when dry. Love the way the tonka trucks SCALE the amount of silt . . .

hmmm lets see if I find a youtube clip of the stuff bubbling up . . . .



and




what next I ask . . . . .
