Knee trembler

My colleague Danielle rang me last night to say that the earth had moved for her. My riposte was that I wasn't sure that I should be privy to that sort of information, her husband, being as he is in blighty working away at whatever he does.

All made clear, the earth really had moved.

One of those regular tremors typical of the French alps and the Haute Savoie. A 2.8 or 3.5 richter earthquake depending on who you believe. See map.

The Haute Savoie is a seismic zone as you will know if you have bought property here, it always comes up in one of the sales pack surveys (obligatory under French law) the beautifully named etat des risques naturelle et technologique.
