- A photograph of a sign taped to a window. The sign includes a bullet pointed list of humorous observations about Christchurch following the February 2011 earthquake. The sign reads, "You know you're from Christchurch when: you use the term 'liquefaction' and 'seismic design' in casual conversation; digging a hole and shitting in your garden is no longer weird; your mayor describes the city as munted. If he means FUBARed, you agree; weaving through car size potholes on the street is no longer weird; a shower is heaven; you have a preference of which kind of silt you'd rather shovel, dry or wet; you see tanks...driving around town; you are always noting what you are under; due to frequent aftershocks during the night, you sleep like a baby - every 10 minutes you wake up and shit yourself".

- A photograph of a sign in the window of a café in Merivale. The sign reads, "To all my very loyal customers, thank you so much for your custom over the past three years. As much as I have enjoyed the previous three years it is time for me to move on especially to spend more time with my two young daughters. On a brighter note, Paul from Chicotis (198 Papanui Road) - I'm sure most of you will already know him - will be taking over very soon and will continue to trade as Chicotis. I wish Paul all the very best and thank you again for your support of Makibo Cafe.
