All shook up
We had an earthquake that measured 5.3 on the Richter scale at 1 this morning. not a very nice thing at all! The entire house shook (obviously) but there doesn't seem to have been any damage done. There are reports of chimneys collapsing in Gainsborough and the like, but nothing too dramatic. The news channels are making a meal of it. Apparently it is the worst earthquake to hit the UK since 1984. We're all OK and the kids slept through it, so no harm done.
