Earthquake groupie

During the past few weeks after the earthquake, I have 'bumped' into a few celebrities, sportsmen and even a prince.
At the school I teach at we had Rico and Hosea Gear come along and give a community BBQ, also the guy who used to play Kingi on Shortland Street was there too. Dr Pita Sharples (co-leader of the Maori Party)also came along, although it seemed like he was just in for a photo opportunity.

On Friday 18th February, Canterbury residents had a public holiday for the National Memorial Service at Hagley Park. Prince William came along, and I managed to see him in Sumner in the morning when he did a street meet and greet, while checking out the damage in the suburb.
That's Prince William in the background - Greta not too fussed with royalty!
Then the next morning, Robyn Malcolm (aka Cheryl West from the TV series Outrageous Fortune) came along to our school to meet with our principal (they went to school together) as the school her boys attend want to help our school by doing some fundraising etc. As I am a big fan of the show, I came along and chatted with her, and got the token photo with her!
Again, Greta not looking too impressed.  Robyn was awesome to chat with!  
Who know's who I might 'bump' into in the next few days, weeks, years because of our EQ.
