Saturday March 19, 2011 - the bird and the worm

No worms for breakfast this morning, and no early morning gas-up either. Somebody slept in!

But he did send me this useful  link to live streaming of NHK news in English. Seems to be up to the minute - maybe worth a look at once in a while since it is relatively first-hand and looks to be quite timely and accurate. It plays in a reel and updates are added as available. The site will surely be useful for me in the event of a blackout.

Looking at the "other" disaster: No wonder people are being urged by the government to leave the area and relocate to other parts of Japan, at least temporarily - there is nothing left in much of this Reuters slideshow.

And in stark contrast, life goes on here seemingly normally, and a look outside the window or a walk through our neighbourhood shows people doing their regular Saturday things - walking, cycling, playing in the park, going shopping, working in their yards.
