Earthquake

I's J's birthday today!! She woke us up at 6:00am as she has work today and was very pleased with her presi! After she went to work I phoned my mum and while I was on the phone we had an earthquake!
It was quite scary, I did not know wether to drop the phone or sit it out!! S moved away from the window and A who was sleeping on the floor next to my bed woke up and I held his hand (for my comfort not his!!) My mum was very surprised, she could hear the windows rattling over the line!! after about 20 seconds or so the waves of the earthquake subsided and I finished chatting to my mum. Poor dad had another fall this morning and had hit his head on the bedside table. It's such a worry, mum's doing the best she can but one day she will not be able to help him up and then what? The Dr has arranged for a nurse specialising in Parkinson's to visit next month, hopefully Mum and Dad will listen to her recommendations instead of trying to struggle on as if it (PD) did not exsist! Anyway the earthquake made her call exciting for her!!
After we turned on the telly to see if they mentioned it, sometimes they just ignore them and carry on their arranged programme but today as they had felt it in the studio, KUSI had an 'expert' who said it was a 5.6 which is about as big as it can be without damaging buildings!! No one was hurt. So all round a busy morning!
