Wow, I am almost glad that I have a stinking cold and my streaming nose and pounding head is keeping me awake.

Just before 1am, we had an earthquake, and I've never experienced one before. It was so freaky. I was lying in bed, doing a bit of writing because I haven't been able to sleep, and the bed jerked strongly from side to side several times.

The weirdest thing is that virtually nothing else in the room seemed to move, just the main lampshade was left swinging afterwards.

I was beginning to think that I'd imagined it, but they've just reported it on the main News.

Yeah, although I'm glad I wasn't asleep as, knowing my luck, I would have slept right through and missed it.

I missed the last earthquake we had here, despite the fact that my mother felt it and she was only two miles away from me at the time.

*Hugs* back :)
