Day 58 - Sisters

February 27th....the day the earth shook! I was woken up at 12:57 this morning by the penthouse rocking left and right, it was the scariest feeling and left me clinging to the bed for dear life! I was trying to work out if I had enough time to get out of the apartment and down the stairs before the whole building collapsed. Apparently it only lasted about 10 seconds but it felt like so much longer and the doors definitely rattled for longer than 10 seconds! My first thought was.."where's my man when I need him?!" and my second thought was..."I need to make sure all my photography equipment is insured!" I managed to get back to sleep but didn't sleep too well as I was thinking about whether another shock would come.

When I did get up this morning I was listening to different people's stories on the radio, some thought there'd been a bomb, one woman thought ghosts were trying to pull her out of her bed! One guy thought his girlfriend was trying to scare him by moving the bed!! I also heard a story of a guy who was stacking shelves in a supermarket and fell off the ladder into a pile of Easter Eggs when the earthquake happened! Everything is OK and as far as I'm aware nothing is wrong with the apartments...I don't want to be going though that again!

I had my BNI meeting this morning and then went off to Sheffield Winter Gardens to photograph Sophie and her sister for their mother's day present. I was really impressed with how the photos came out and the fact you wouldn't know that they'd been taken in the winter gardens..in fact you would think they were in a studio! Work is coming in slowly so it was great to be getting out and taking photos.

I then met Lucy for a lunch which was my birthday present from her so I felt very spoilt being taken out for lunch. We were ladies who lunched today and we loved it!!
