Those of you who are with me on FB will already know about the Earth Tremor we experienced here yesterday night! I'll put down what I told Pauline (that way I know my addled brain won't miss anything!)
We are all okay. Just a bit, um, shaken over it. The ground is not supposed to move!!! We have never experienced anything like it! I thought Michael was doing some heavy machinery (which was nuts because it was after nine at night, and he doesn't HAVE any heavy machinery!) and Michael thought it was a massive train (which it couldn't have been, at least with that intensity because the train tracks are at the botom of the hill and then some away, and besides, the railway doesn't run any trains that heavy!!
Unique experience! Here's some more conversation that happeden shortly after the shaking had stopped
OMG!! We just had an earthquake!! All the plates were rattling, the pictures moved, whe ground shook like an enourmouse train passed within INCHES of us, and the children are unsettled now!! Anyone else get anyything??

I still have no photo's!! Its the computer though. So dang slow and buggy at the moment. Grrr! I will show wedding piccies as soon as I can!
But the wedding was awesome! Miriam came down specially to babysit the three older children and let Michael go to the reception. They all watched the wedding and then went home straight afterwards.
Kelly wore a looong white dress, and had her hair curled, and there were three bridesmaids, all in loong red dresses and we had straight hair. We all carried fragile wooden flowers of red and white.
The wedding was at the Presbiterian church (it has this awesome pipe organ! Oh my gosh!!) at 3:30, and the reception was at the RSL, at 6pm. Inbetween we were having photo's taked (and it was COLD!!!!) and mingling at our church, where everyone met up, those who were going to the reception, and those who wern't.
Michael brought a sleeping Eli home at around 7.30 and then scurried back for desert, and we both came home at around 10pm so that Miriam could drive home again. She is such an awesome sister! I am so lucky!! And appartently the children were angels for her, so I am chuffed!
We have a new dog as well! Still have Gaspode, but when we got him back from the pound (mongrel slipped out when we wern't looking, drat him) another dog caught Michael's eye, and so we adopted him :D
Our new dog is called Spud. (It was going to be Potato, but the children shouted Michael down, and Spud was the compromise, lol) and he is a year old, methinks will not get more than middle sized, is black with brown bits, and has a lot of Staffy in him.
Very sweet natured. Will let Eli roll all over him and not bat an eyelash! Does my heart good to see it, as Gaspode won't tollerate it at all! And Eli isn't that rough. The cats let him pet and play with them, and that says a lot!
Hmmm, what else?
..............
Man, I hate it when I go fuzzy! Mind goes blank!
