Here's my little grizzle for the evening... I AM SO OVER THESE AFTERSHOCKS!!!!!!!"
The last couple of days we've been getting a fair few, but tonight we had a real hum-dinger...although we are somewhat getting used to them, tonight was an exception... It got me out of bed that's for sure and needless to say I did what any other unsuspecting Cantabrian would do... I got on the floor crawled in the fetal position and cried for my mummy! (OK maybe that's a slight exaggeration... but I was wise enough to get on the floor next to bed and covered my head and waited for the shaking to stop)
A 5.5 may seem rather small but have a look here and you'll see that even a so called "small quake" can be felt from a fair way... it knocked out the phone line for a while over where my parents live but thankfully the power didn't go out... but if you think that's bad... spare a thought for our friends in Japan and what they must be going through... if we're still getting this many aftershocks I imagine they must be getting a fair few as well!
All in all....I think we will all be glad when the ground stops shaking beneath us... and when our city has been rebuilt to its' former glory! I miss strolling through town... especially the market in the square I miss my favourite restaurant (The Hunny Pot)... and buying $2 fried rice.... I sometimes even miss my shitty old apartment and the resident mice that would eat our washing powder and then keel over and die on our living room floor (delightful!)!
Oh well... apparently The Hunny Pot and the place that sells $2 rice has reopened somewhere else in the city with somewhat stable-ish ground.... so all is not lost...
p.s. Just so you know the date on my blog is wrong... today is the 9th of October and it is exactly 10.34pm.... but I think I will leave it just as it is... as it gives the impression I can time travel! Now wouldn't that be cool!!!
