At about 8.30pm last night the house was starting to settle down. Most of the kids were in bed, the dogs were sleeping in their pens and everything was ticking along as usual.
8.55pm all of that changed with the house beginning to shake! For about 40 seconds everything was shaking; we were experiencing another earthquake, with a small aftershock around 5 minutes later.
The kids panicked, and I must admit, I wasn't really happy either. Poor Jock was horrified, and the old Boxer looked on it all as a huge inconvenience!
The epicentre was about 10 kilometres from where I live, but it shook houses hundreds of kilometers away. No damage done, that we can see at the moment. The barn is still standing, and all of the sheep are fine.
This morning, however, we were blanketed with white. Not snow but frost. The grass (and mud unfortunately) was crunchy underfoot. I shivered through it unhappily, however, Jock decided that it wasn't too cold to play with his watering can.
Ahh, to be young and innocent again!
