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

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:

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.
Over the years, there have been a few earthquake tremors up here but Iâve never felt anything.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros 
Night owl hug for Summer
night yogi summer if you pop in
Good morning 
itâs sunny here, yesss!!!!
I cant tell you how much I enjoyed Lady & the Tramp ð what a lovely film! I still canât believe Iâd never seen it before, but Iâm 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 wasnât expecting that!
What are you all doing today? Weâre going out walking, as usual 
i hope the earthquake is a one off, and that everyone is alright
Good morning everyone
Cloudy and relatively mild here.
Summer, I'm glad you really liked The Lady and the Tramp, it's a lovely film 
I've felt at least 4 minor quakes locally over the years inclding yesterday but there's never been any damage.
I hope everyone has a good day
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 morning everyone
Weather is dry atm.
I love Lady and The Tramp and recently introduced PB and BB to it, and they liked it too.
Have a good day, all
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.

Good afternoon Buddies
It started of sunny here but now itâs looking greyer. I donât know if itâs particularly cold a I havenât been out
El, we had 3.2 magnitude where my sister lives, several years ago. She doesnât live that far from me. I never felt anything but she said everything rattled
I loved Lady and the Tramp. It was so sweet ð
Sweet, I hope you and Miss Bramble enjoyed your walk and Iâm 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
Itâs just a classic
Have a great day everyone
El Loro posted: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 itâs 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. Itâs closed in and when the boatman turns of the lights so you can see what itâs like in the dark, that did it for me 
I donât like closed in
When you get through the tunnel you come into a huge lit up limestone cavern. Really quite quite beautiful

I was all âdeep breathing and donât panic Mr Mainwairingâ
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 couldnât 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

There you go. Thatâs it
I have some postcards from there

Good morning everyone
Weather is dry and cloudy.
Thanks for the reminder about the old ÂĢ10 notes, El, Iâll check and see if I have any.
Sorry Moonie, I didnât realise you were around last night or Iâd have included you in my Goodnight post.
Have a good day, all

The only underground place Iâve been to is the Caves of Drach in Majorca but they are very open and well lit - and beautiful
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 yesterdayâs weather was much better for our walk- we did 20 miles!
Bramble is sleepy today, understandably, but sheâs also happy because sheâs been opening presents this morning. Thatâs right, Miss Bramble is 6 today ðķðð
Iâm glad the earthquakes arenât causing damage, I hope thatâs 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 itâs timeless, no wonder PB & BB like it too

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
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.
Evening all, hope youâve had a good day.
Happ Birthday to Bramble, Iâm sure she has been thoroughly spoilt. 
Good evening Bramble says thank you aunties & uncles, sheâs been very spoiled and had a superb day
i hope you've all had a good day too, Iâm tired after yesterdayâs efforts lol
and a very happy birthday to Bramble
