Earthquake
The earth moved last night, it really did! OK, it didn't move very much here, because the centre of the quake was in Lincolnshire, but the earthquake could be felt where we live. It happened last night just before 1 a.m. when we were all in bed. My dad was asleep and my mum was dozing and nearly asleep and I was dozing too. Suddenly the bed started to shake a little bit. My mum said to my dad and me, "Is one of you shaking the bed?" but I said it wasn't me and dad didn't say anything because he was still asleep and missed it all. After about five or six seconds the bed stopped shaking and mum thought maybe she had imagined it and she and I went to sleep. When the radio alarm went off this morning all the people on the radio were talking about the earthquake and my mum realised that is what we must have felt.
I know some cats live in places that get REALLY BIG earthquakes but this one was quite big enough for us, thank you.

P.S. Thank you to my friends who asked if we were OK!
