@hakima saidWhere he and Paula live is 860 km from where the earthquake happened. And anyway, I hear he is on a different island today and that one is 700 km away.

Pease, Indonesia Phil, let us know if you are ok.
@hakima saidMany thanks for your concern, Hakima, but we're fine. Actually still in Sulawesi, flying to Bali tomorrow, which this time involved a pre - flight antigen covid test....probe up the nose, not the sort of thing you want every day but that's what we have to do to cross Indonesian provinces. Anyway the earthquake was in central Sulawesi, we're in the north. Everything's connected up down there, so if the earth gets restless somewhere the volcanoes around here sometimes join in, but nothing so far....Anyway, thanks.
Thank you, FMF. I’m glad to know this. I was worried.

Sometimes living in the back end of nowhere can have it's advantages. Come and see us one day....
@shallow-blue saidNever heard of 'Spekkoek', sounds like a Dutch influence?

@indonesia-phil saidYup. Basically a crossover between western layer cakes and Indonesian kue lapis, with spices. A bit too sickly for my tastes, but still somewhat popular in both countries.
