My first TREMOR!!!!!
What can I say? It took a couple of months but....
after a quiet and somewhat uneventful past week, I experienced my first TREMOR today while sitting at my desk at work!!! I thought it was someone who walked behind me but I looked at Keni and he had a look of shock on his face....a tremor! I was delighted, being the sort of person I am, but the others were not too impressed. The Japanese staff didn't even budge but all the Gaijins just looked up from their desks, looking around at one another with a look of trepidation. To be honest I thought it was pretty cool but it could be worse so I shouldn't be so flippant about it. I guess it would not be pleasant it a real one hit. There was a big one off Calfornia last week with a tsunami warning for the west coast of the US (how real that threat was who knows, you know the way Americans are, always wanting to be the first, to be prepared for everything, inevitably causing more mayhem than was there in the first place....sorry Sara!!!) so....who can tell....
There are regular tremors further north and there was a decent strenght 'quake near Tokyo a month ago. We were warned to keep an earthquake emergency kit at home and to have a procedure practised should such an occasion arise. I must do that this week....just in case
I'll keep you updated if more arise...cool...

good to hear your haircuts aren't any better than the chewings you were getting in cork! did you get a free pair of jocks with the latest one?
Hi Carmo,
F*cking hell, an earthquake! If it was me, I'd be on the first plane home, but then I'm not exactly known for my bravery!
It was never just the Pig and Lynchy having a ruck in the street, was it?
Weather was great all over UK during the week...except for NW Scotland...guess where I was?

B!!! good to hear from you!!! Cilla is a friend of mine who is living in Dublin now...you're mad, aren't ya Cilla?? Anyway, things not too bad here, rainy season kicking in now so it's dull and grey all the time...working hard but no birding being done. Might start getting out now if it stays this cool, it's been too hot and humid to move lately. Uncomfortable in a suit.
