Good Morning from a somewhat jet-lagged 'Lady Jill' (aka tearinghair).
Back now from California, and unlike James Bond both shaken and stirred. Stirred by the stark beauty of the surrounding mountains, and shaken by an earthquake. It was 5.1 on the Richter scale, nothing too big compared with others, but we were very close to the epicentre so the floor and building shook quite violently. The dog was terrified – hid under a duvet – and the goldfish didn’t swim around for over 24 hours. It brought home to me how strong and how unpredictable natural forces can be.
I’ve been to San Francisco a number of times, but this was my first visit to Los Angeles, the City of Angels; the family moved here two years ago, The temperature was in the mid 70s most of the time, which suited me perfectly; a little chilly first thing in the morning, but lovely sunshine later in the day. All very nice for visitors, but the state is suffering drought conditions so there may be repercussions later in the year.
