an Earthquake in the UK?! Couldn't be...

So, there I am...finally getting settled into my hotel room at the lovely Chesterfield Mayfair after a much delayed flight to London (nothing like snow at O'Hare to bullocks things up eh?)I sit down to take off my shoes and suddenly the building starts to rock and roll. It's a strange form of motion - not that there is a normal form of motion for a building to be making. Only lasted for 6 or 7 seconds and here in London it was just strange, not dangerous. Honestly, I imagine that if I'd already been asleep I might not have even woken up (might have caused strange dreams of being aboard a boat perhaps...)

But seriously? Earthquakes in London? very very odd. I sent off a message to Judith, who reported back that Barack rocked the debate in Ohio...I prefer to think that was what we felt here instead of the earth shifting itself around underneath our feet. :)

For the next week Mark will be posting from the ME and I'll be here in the UK, London proper and then the Isle of White to shoot lifestyle images of people with cars out in the real world. We've arranged to use the BMW 3 series convertible and a 5 series sedan. I'm certain that my sister and brother-in-law will approve of the choice. But more importantly they'll be perfect for the shots. What a shame that I'm too much of a dope to be able to drive on the opposite side of the road so I can't take either car out on my own... Oh well, being a passenger in one on the way to the shoot will be pretty good too.
