Moonie, as you say, it's almost like early Spring.

 

But, as I've mentioned over the last few days, there's a catch, Met Office reckon there's a 70% chance that by next weekend the temperature will go down. They reckon that we could be in for a real cold spell lasting until mid-March with really heavy snow with the south and east being at greatest risk.

So, don't go planting anything in the gardens thinking that spring is here.

 Sounds like a very chilly spell ahead

 Parts of Wales and England have been affected by a 4.4 magnitude earthquake 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43097113

I thought there had been as I did as there was a slight tremor in the house - far too small for there to be any damage. It's not unusual for there to be minor earthquakes in this country. The Richter scale is based on a multiple of 10 so a 5.4 earthquake would be 10 times the strength of a 4.4 one. It would need to be at leat 6 for there to be damage to buildings (unless poorly constructed). There was a 7.2 one in south-western Mexico early today:
Clip of a newsroom there shaking:

I may have mentioned quite some time ago about an earthquake here nearly 30 years ago. I was in my office having a drink and another manager was standing in my room talking to me when there was a minor quake. Although he was British he had been working in Belgium for some years and had recently returned to the UK. He was really shaken by the quake and was amazed that I just carried on as if nothing had happened and said to him that this was not unheard of.

Good morning it’s sunny here, yesss!!!! 

 

I cant tell you how much I enjoyed Lady & the Tramp 😍 what a lovely film! I still can’t believe I’d never seen it before, but I’m actually glad because I think it was more special now that I have my own Lady. I laughed out loud and many of the daft puppy moments, and really rooted for the dogs when they needed love & affection. 

Bramble enjoyed the movie too, and even barked when the dogs on screen were howling, then she ate some popcorn that we spilled. I wasn’t expecting that! 

 

What are you all doing today? We’re going out walking, as usual  

 

i hope the earthquake is a one off, and that everyone is alright

~Sparkling Summer~

Good morning everyone, a grey and cloudy morning but at least it's dry.  I felt the earthquake move under my chair, it quite clearly went from right to left like a ripple.  My grandson didn't notice a thing.  I'm glad you enjoyed Lady and The Tramp Summer, sounds like Bramble did too.  My future husband and I watched it at the cinema when we were courting.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good afternoon Buddies  

It started of sunny here but now it’s looking greyer. I don’t know if it’s particularly cold a I haven’t been out 

 

El, we had 3.2 magnitude where my sister lives, several years ago. She doesn’t live that far from me. I never felt anything but she said everything rattled 

I loved Lady and the Tramp. It was so sweet  ðŸ˜Š

 

Sweet, I hope you and Miss Bramble enjoyed your walk and I’m glad you both enjoyed Lady and the Tramp 

 

Yogi, I thought PB and BB would like Lady and the Tramp 

 

Hi squiggle 

It seems we all like Lady and the Tramp fans then 

It’s just a classic 

 

Have a great day everyone

Moonie, years ago when I was living with my parents there was an earthquake which must have been strong enough to wake me up when I was in bed.

In Dudley, which is not far from where I live, a hole opened up under one of a very minor football teams pitch. They where pumping concrete under there for several years. Funny thing is it’s grassed over now but the large tanks they used to pump in the concrete are still there.

Also, several years ago they built a shopping and hotel complex not a hundred yards away.

The area is riddled with limestone caverns. In fact you can take a canal trip on a narrow boat into the caverns. I actually did but was terrified. It’s closed in and when the boatman turns of the lights so you can see what it’s like in the dark, that did it for me 

I don’t like closed in 

 

When you get through the tunnel you come into a huge lit up limestone cavern. Really quite quite beautiful

There was a sequel to Lady and the Tramp made much later which went to video,  Scamp's Adventure (mainly about Scamp rather than Lady and the Tramp). IMDB reviews are very mixed with some saying pointless and just trying to cash in, others really liked it.

I recorded that one for the children but they didn’t like it as much as the original

Yikes Moonie, I’m claustrophobic so that would be my worst nightmare.

I was all ‘deep breathing and don’t panic Mr Mainwairing’

Yogi, some years ago I went to visit a mate in Sheffield. We went to an old mine that was open to the public. To get in you had to go into a passageway that was well lit but it sloped downtrend down and then up. You couldn’t see the other end. It was very narrow and low. I got halfway down and panic set in so I had to turn back. I waited for my mate to go in and come out via a different root

I’d have been waiting with you too

Good morning everyone, it's mizzling here.  Moonie I know just what you mean.  We went down the Llechwedd Slate Cavern years ago, you go on a small train and when the guy (an ex miner) who was showing us the workings turned off the light it was quite frightening and you felt for the men who worked in such conditions.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning grey and drizzle here, which is ok because yesterday’s weather was much better for our walk- we did 20 miles! 

Bramble is sleepy today, understandably, but she’s also happy because she’s been opening presents this morning. That’s right, Miss Bramble is 6 today ðŸķ🎉🎂 

 

I’m glad the earthquakes aren’t causing damage, I hope that’s the last of them. 

 

Squiggle i think its sweet how you & your future hubby saw Lady & the Tramp when you were courting and I like that it’s timeless, no wonder PB & BB like it too 

~Sparkling Summer~

Good afternoon Buddies

Its rained off and on here but I managed to find two dry bits to go out in

 

El, I never got in that far in tbh

Yogi, I came on after you had gone so no probs

Hi Sweet and Birthday Girl Bramble  
I hope Bramble is having a lovely birthday 

Squiggle, I am the same in lifts. I can go one floor but that's about it 

 

Have a great Monday everyone

Moonie

There was the time that I refused to go in a whale as I did not want to be eaten. My parents didn't understand why. I was too young to realise that inside was an aquarium. That was at Belle Vue Zoo near Manchester. The highlight for me was the small train for children which went through the grounds there. It's no more.
