I'm not normally the one to be put off the Sims/decorating, but I just have been. Amanda, from S3 & Me, has been in hospital all week, and just this morning have a read a message posted on her blog by her husband. I'm not going to post the details, but she is in a bad condition, and I am really worried for her. I've never met her in real life, but she has been a fabulous friend to me, really a big sister to me. Looking after me when I'm down, and vice versa. I am praying for her to get well soon, and get over this. Right now, I'm just not in the mood at all to Sim, or to those on my access list, carry on with the music meme. I know this isn't normal for someone you've never met, but she is a very close friend, and frankly, I'm very worried for her.

 In case any of you have not heard, Christchurch has been hit by another awful Earthquake. Sikty-five people are known to be dead, and people are searching through the rumble to find lost loved-ones. What makes this worse is that since September last year (around the time of the first big one) 4500 quakes have occurred all at different magnitudes. People are trapped in the rubble, the city is destroyed, and many people have lost there homes, the BBC has said it could be the worst disaster they have had in 80 years.

Sixty-ten (Sarah), who runs awesims, a friend of mine lives in Christchurch, and we all have been concerned for her. I know she is safe, but I can not send enough well wishes to Sarah, and everyone else in Christchurch. My thoughts are with you Christchurch.
