Back in the UK

Just a quick note to say that at last I'm back in England after a gruelling (that's a lie - amazing) 3 weeks in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

After surviving a 6.8 earthquake in Taipei, Taiwan, it was almost comic to arrive back in Britain and experience a 4.8 one in Birmingham !!! But you have to remember, the scale is logarithmic, so a 2.0 is 100 (ten to the power of two) times stronger than a 1.0. So the one in Brum was no way near comparable to the one in Taiwan in reality.

OK, lack of sleep still being a major factor, I am now retiring to bed.

Goodnight
