Good News! · 5:20pm Feb 17th, 2018
I had some great news today. My job search is at an end, and this time, I hope to get a proper career out of it. No more short term contracts for me!
In other news, Mid Wales experienced a minor 4.4 earthquake this afternoon, with Swansea near the epicenter. I actually felt my whole room shake, but thought it was just a articulated lorry rumbling past until my Dad told me. Apparently it hasn't happened since before the First World War.
And in story news, I've started on the rewrite of 'My Family and Other Equestrians'. I'm just about finished with Chapter 9, but as I may need to go away for training in March, so it may take a bit longer to get it all done, proofread and uploaded. I'll throw up a blog when it's all set to go.

Congratulations!
Your seismic experience reminds me of the time an earthquake struck the Mowbray/Rutland area. If I remember correctly it was around 1am when I heard a rumble and felt my bed rock; without the rocking I'd've thought it was a heavy goods train passing by.
4799722 My parents didn't even feel it, since they were on the ground floor. I was upstairs in an older part of the house and literally, everything for a about two seconds, shook. I went downstairs, asked if they felt anything, and they said no. It wasn't until it appeared on a BBC Wales news flash that they realised what it was.
