Shaking all over

Just a quick post to let you know that we had an earthquake in Gisborne this evening - 20th December 2007 - about an hour and a half ago to be precise (about 8.55pm). It was 6.8 on the Richter scale so I don't know if it will make the news, but we're ok, and as far as we can see in the dark the house is ok as well. Power has been back on about half an hour, but we're ok apart from a stinking headache (shock I think). I'm now paranoid about going to bed, but apparently that's the biggest earthquake they have had in several decades - so hopefully it won't be happening again any time soon.

Anyway, we're ok, but if you can't get hold of us over the next few days, it may be cos there are repairs going on out here, so don't panic.
