Just had a wee a shake in Christchurch, only 3.4 but quite close to where I am and relatively shallow. Was a noisy one too, had the heartrate going for a little bit! Ick. I don't like these reminders.
Was going to get mine this week too, but then I got sick (just a cold I think). So it'll have to wait for a bit longer. Heaps of bugs going around at the moment.
Just got my flu vaccination, hardly felt it. Reminder to go get yours as well, if you haven't already! The way the health system is at the moment, the more preventative stuff we can do, the better.
And yet the Eftpostle's excuse for the rainbow crossing vandalism was that they were opposing the messaging of it to "protect children". The mental gymnastics of these people is astounding.
I did a bunch of cleaning around the house, which normally would be a bit of a drag, but it's made a big difference. Got the jif out to sort out scuff marks on skirting boards, that sort of thing.
Also saw Dune 2 - loved it. Was a bit condensed at the end, but in a way that I actually appreciated. Battle scenes that last too long start to get a bit boring (looking at you Marvel Universe).
Nothing hugely exciting, but I do have the day off today so I went to see a movie. The Iron Claw - about a wrestling family. I'm not into wrestling at all, but I rate Jeremy Allen White as an actor after The Bear, and it was on at a convenient time. Plus it was cheap tickets + free popcorn day at my local theatre (Silky Otter), so that was a bonus.
This is really interesting, thanks Dave! (and everyone else who responded)
