TERREMOTO !

Terremoto(earthquake ) here on the prairie,numerous funny thoughts come to mind about the bed lifting of the ground at 1.am in the middle of the night,was it the whisky? did someone break wind rather strongly? and others too risque to mention,but no it was an earthquake,the italians call it a terremoto,which means earth in motion,and describes it perfectly,its a little bit like a really bad drunken night when the ceiling swirls,or so I am told.
As far as I can see there seems to be no structural damage,even though the epicentre was at Ludford a village just to the west of Louth.
I mention the Italian word because some friends of ours who lived in a flat in Pinerolo in Italy once had a domestic disagreement,and being Italians things were being thrown about including a large item of furniture,the residents in the flat below were recent arrivals from the south of Italy,and were used to earth tremors,they ran out into the open shouting TERREMOTO!! but fortunately it was only our friends arguing ,they are of course now divorced.
So nothing much else to report at this early hour, possibly more revelations later.
