DAY 60 (Sunday 18 September 2011)

Well there I was thinking that I would have absolutely no news to tell you, how wrong I was!  Earlier this evening Charlie and I were sat on the settee watching Prison Break when he turned and asked me if I was jiggling my leg, something I have a habit of doing when resting my foot on the coffee table, to be honest, I had to actually look at my leg to see if I was as I couldn’t feel it jiggling.  When I told Charlie I wasn’t he said well the settee is wobbling so I must be, but I wasn’t.  The settee started to wobble a heck of a lot more, which is when Charlie realised we were having a bit of an earthquake.  We got off the settee and moved to the doorway of the living room and stood there until it was over, as we went outside after to see if anyone else was around, everyone from our block and the buildings nearby were also outside, we just couldn’t believe what had happened, fortunately for us no one was hurt, wish I could say that about some locals on the other side of Kathmandu as 3 people were killed.

I had to put it on Facebook just in case it got into the news back in the UK; just as well as I did as my sister had seen it on the news.

Fortunately for us we only had a tremor; the main earthquake had hit SIKKIM which is about 272 km away from us.  All I can say is that I hope I don’t have to go through that again, OK I know it was only a tremor, but still it was enough to put the willies up you.
