Our First Earthquake
Well the earth just moved for us. Our first earthquake since coming to New Zealand 2 years ago. I have just got back from a sea swim so I thought I was just a bit wobbly from that but then we saw the lights gently swaying and the house shaking. Very weird! No noise, just like being on a boat in a very gentle sea. It was 6.8 on the Richter scale which can be very destructive. Centre was further down the coast from us. They are saying we'll probably get some smaller after shocks. Now where's our emergency survival pack. Maybe we need to organise one.

You people up North do Scare easily. We were sitting on the settee at home and the whole thing started shaking. All good fun about Number 10 on our Eartquake watch. ;-)
