Earthquakes and Heat!

It's really cold indoors in my apartment (down to 15C or so), and taking my students' advice and I finally got my kotatsu working!
It is a table heater, with a blanket covering it, and is extremely comfortable to sit under.


So warm and toasty.. I can't imagine my life without it!! :)

I was noting that I had not felt any earthquakes having been here for 3 months.. so as fate would have it, Tokyo has had three earthquakes in the last 12 hours. Very exciting! The first, yesterday evening was very mild- only the baubles swaying on my christmas tree confirmed my initial thought.
The two during the night were comparable to the Nottingham one 1 and a half years ago, about a 4 on the scale.


And finally, here's one otaku (nerd) that has gone just too far..

  1. There are 3 eclipses, starting end of this week. It is the closest approach of Sun & Moon too...New Zealand may be another foot closer to Australia by Feb.
    You know to stand in a doorway (like Charlie Chaplin) if a big one hits..
    Happy New Year =op
