Well, Saturday was a bit exciting!
At 9.50am, I was in the pool area playing with Harley when there began a loud rumble in the ground with a strong vibration under foot. It lasted for about 15-20 seconds.
At the time I was helping Harley get his ball from behind the pergoda and I thought the noise and vibration was the pool filter blowing up or breaking down, but then I heard BGWLBH yelling at me and asking if I’d felt that? Next thing, Adoring Husband came running out of the house yelling “Are you ok? What the hell was that?”
After a brief conversation about what it could have been, I could hear everybody in the neighbourhood coming out of their houses and calling out to each other speculating about the rumble and vibration.
We looked online and discovered lots of comments and posts on Facebook about a possible earthquake.
Then a Google search confirmed that we’d experienced a 5.6 earthquake!
Harley and I had only got out of bed 20 minutes before the quake happened. Instead of running in and out of the house like a crazy animal, as he usually does first thing, trying to encourage me to hurry out to the pool area, he nervously stuck very close to my side.
Even after we got to the pool area, when I threw the ball, he stood and looked at me weirdly.
So I think he could sense something was about to happen.
There was constant activity on social media all day regarding the quake, but I was ‘over’ it within the first hour. No damage, no injuries, no fatalities, no biggie, move on.
I’ve had an excellent weekend of footy tipping and I’m now 18pts ahead of my nearest rival! I only missed one game - South Sydney Rabbitohs ruined my chance of a perfect round.
We watched the movie “Michael” starring John Travolta, William Hurt and Andie Macdowell. It’s from 1996 so it’s almost 30 yrs old! Crazy! Still a good movie.
It’s already 11pm so I need to sleep now.
