Funny but true: my mom woke up in the night a few nights ago and the windows were rattling. She said it sounded like a huge train was going right past the house (there are no railways near my parent's home). So she got up and went to see what my Dad thought of it. He was in his usual position: fast asleep on the sofa with the television still on! She woke him up and told him what had happened - he, of course, had noticed nothing. He told her that it was all in her head - that she had dreamed it and that probably because she was on antibiotics they were making her have weird dreams! Mum thought that made made sense, so she trundled off to bed. When they got up in the morning they saw the news that the previous night Britain had had its worst earthquake in ten years - measuring a 4.8 on the Richter scale, with an epicenter less than 50 miles from my parent's house! Some antibiotics!!
