Coldplay, earthquakes, food festivals & travel

The title pretty much sums up some of the activity the Hawkins household over the last couple of weeks.

Maxine & I went to see Coldplay in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago one hot autumn night. They were excellent as usual.... Then when we were having a curry one night a 4.6 level earthquake shook the house. Came back to a petrified, white faced mother. We didn't feel a thing. 2 weeks later, Martin was in Auckland .... same thing again (he must know when to avoid being at home). For a place 1500Km from the nearest plate boundary, they're not bad earthquakes. Other stuff has included the Melbourne Food Festival visit as well as a trip on the Yarra river with mam and a trip to Sydney for Martin with work. We managed to squeeze some work in there too.... only just.
