shakin' all over.....

The earth tremors that shook Lincolnshire last night woke us, and almost everyone else I know at 1:00am.

I was interested to hear from one mum that her baby (who always sleeps through) woke shortly before the tremors. I was also interested to hear from the same mum that her mother-in-law (who lived near to the epicentre) was woken, not by the shaking, but by birds singing loudly, in the dead of night, before the tremors hit.

We always, arrogantly, place ourselves at the top of the evolutionary ladder. What other organism can match us? Well, it seems that both babies and birds are more in harmony with our planet than we are.
