    Holy shit, we just had an earthquake!

    .

    Seriously, the china cabinet rattled, it wasn't a big one, but it was definitely a quake!

    Anyone else feel it?

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    Oh wicked!
    Being in small earthquakes is kewl, apart from the fact that I get motion sickness. Ah I'm pathetic

    So Lynda you were shaken when you stirred? That would make you a bit of a James Bond martini girl.

    I didn't feel it but I did wake up at about that time. I always miss out on the fun!

    I slept through the first one but felt the 2nd, just one decent thump. First one I've felt since I've been back here.

    Didn't feel the first one, but Tim did. I was woken up by him jumping in to bed with Gini and I.

    We all felt the second one - a bit like the house was dropped from about 2 feet up.

    Nothing our 95-year-old house hasn't seen before.

    Tim's talked about nothing else all day though, according to Gini.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Don't you just love living in Wellington. Faultlines galore. No wonder Jap bikes like it here. Must have scared those Ducatis though Lynda.
