Did the Earth Move for you?

We were sprawled comfortably in front of the giant TV watching 'Casino Royale' a few nights back, when the house shifted on it's footings, creaking and groaning. Then it began to shudder noisily, with things rattling busily in the cupboards.

The epicentre of this quake was in Korumburra, about a half an hour's drive away. We did have a smaller tremor a few months back, harking from the same place, but that was very light. At the time I wondered whether I had imagined that, but this one was 4.6 on the Richter Scale, and there was no mistake.

Will there be a bigger one at Korumburra? They must be wondering.

Hi Blissie

Here in Larrikin's End, East Gipps, no movement - Barney's been constipated ever since he and Wally Wombat decided it would be patriotic to use their economic stimulus bonus (f**k knows how Barney managed to qualify as endangered) to drink their own vodka bar dry.
