Well, it has finally settled in to 'winter' here. The trees that are going to lose their leaves have done so, and we have had several hard frosts (I know, right? Frosts? Poor Shelley...). The dark nights, cold weather, ad winter store displays have poor Aya convinced that Christmas must be just around the corner....
We are all sick - Rowan had it first, then Aya, then Trent and I fell prey to their disease. They had fevers and coughs, but Trent and I seem to have gotten more of a sinus - headache- sneezing version. And poor Trent also sprained his ankle in a bouldering competition last weekend. It is still swollen and sore, and has turned very pretty colours!
For those who haven't seen it yet, here is a link to aa slide show of what the Feb earthquake did to our beloved downtown:

Thank goodness we were in Ilam! It is apparently among the least damaged neighbourhoods. Noone was hurt at the University either, although several buildings are "munted" as they say.
And, finally, long live the Queen!
