Vibrations

[pensnest]

Well, *really*!!

On the brink of going to sleep last night, and the radiator started vibrating in a most peculiar way. Beast got out of bed to investigate but was baffled and came back. He, naturally, fell asleep almost at once.

And now I find it was an *earthquake*! This is Not Acceptable. This is England, dammit, we Do Not Have earthquakes here. Really, what is the world coming to?

I quite agree. We're supposed to be unshakable, damnit!

[pensnest]

I mean, if you can't trust the *ground*...

I know - how cool is that? Just like LA!

We felt it all the way in Norfolk. Bet the cattle were surprised.

[pensnest]

I now have visions of cows shaking so hard they fell over. Hmm.

At least I was awake for this one - last time, I apparently got out of bed and walked about, but I was asleep and have no memory of it at all.

indeed!!!

(in other news, I've only ever actually felt ONE earthquake ever and it was Christmas Eve in '99. I only remember THAT because it was my son's first Christmas)

[pensnest]

I can't honestly claim to have 'felt' this one, we were just mystified. But - earthquake? :-(

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

actually, according to reputable sources you have between two and three hundred annually. :-D

[pensnest]

Really? Presumably they don't really count, though, if they're teeny tiny ones that nobody without a seismograph ever notices.

say hello, to global warming.

[pensnest]

Well, we've been having April weather (without the showers) for several days now, so I think we're getting quite well acquainted with global warming, already. :-( (Not that I *want* February weather, but...)

I like to think the earthquake was a small concession to you guys knowing what living in NZ is like. And somewhere in my very confused brain that means I'm sort of vaguely going to be at Camp Sparkle, which makes no sense, but hey!

And GUH to your new banner.

[pensnest]

You shall be there in spirit, I'm sure - and in fic, if I have time to print out a couple of your stories to take along!

Guh indeed! Someone who really fancies Lance has been taking his picture lately, I think!

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Oh PLEASE take one of my stories. Then I can really wallow in the not being there *grin* and you guys can remember me while I sleep...

[pensnest]

BTW, I did take a printout of three of your stories, and though I don't know how many people read them, I can assure you that I did, and with great pleasure, too!

Start saving for next year's CS!

It looks like we'll be in the UK in August and September so I think managing to get over AGAIN is unlikely. However, I am completely determined to meet up with some of you for at least one evening of sparkly squee!

And thank you for taking my fic (and I'm glad you enjoyed).

[pensnest]

SQUEEEEEEE!! We can haz sparkly meetup!

My sister & brother-in-law both slept through it :-)

Now I'm off to see Greenwich, see you tomorrow!
