I was as honestly at a friends house at the time.

I did not doubt it :-)
And we know you live NEAR Auckland :-)

Then the next morning rode my old bicycle around and saw a lot of
damage in town. But nothing wrong at my studio apartment.
Although my old computer monitor fell over.

The monitor hit and knocked over the plant pot of that "nameless
indoor plant friend" I bought for the video shows.
But the plant is OK!

Thousands of things either fell over and/or broke
at my friends house. But at my studio... apart from the monitor, you
wouldn't even know there had been an earthquake.
It's because I live simple and tidy.
Also semi-packed in-case I have to rush off to another city soon.

Yes, be prepared.
I do have my emergency pack ready, too.

The good news is I can do my Jims Space Agency

All I need is my UFO poster.
The indoor plant.
That pip-up board thing.
My little camera and tripod.
Sun glasses and a wizzzzard hat.

Bye for now!
