Ok, I will be sure to save this post so that even if it doesn't upload, I have the words down to copy.

My last post began with the point the the British Embassy have advised its people to leave Tokyo. This is sound advice and not at all rash like some other embassies. Our embassy is looking after the British people up north and keeping an eye on the potential dangers down south. They are supporting Japan and it has not gone unnoticed.

The main advice is to be beyond 80km away from the plant. Our house is over 200km, and now we are further away.

On NHK this morning, they were showing you how to make nappies out of towels and plastic bags and toilets out of cardboard boxes and bin bags. Yet amongst all this battle for survival, I still witness an older lady wiping and keeping clean the mat her family is sitting on.

And it this these older people who are becoming a concern too. Tohoku has heavy snow right now and it is very cold. If people can't stay warm, they will get sick.

Why is this happening?

News has just come in of the Mizuho banks nationwide being unable to dispense cash at ATMs. What will this mean?

The jma site has shocking reports to read...

So far, we are alright although, I am worried. So much is unsure right now...

We have faith and we have had great news that more friends have been seen in rescue centres. They are alive and well!!!
