Greetings from the other side of the Ring of Fire . (It always sounds as if there should be the odd Valkyrie flying around but if one is I haven't seen her - the Austrian lady at work has short hair which keeps changing colour and no helmet.) We had another big earthquake just off the coast of Sumatra not so long ago. They were expecting a tsunami but it didn't materialise. Earthquakes seem to have a habit of happening at night these days and I sleep right through them. (Put the TV on or start chatting outside my window and I wake up immediately, but an earthquake [shrug]). We've also got two volcanoes that look as if they're about to go off any minute -- Merapi (near Yogyakarta) and Anak Krakatau (better known in English as Krakatoa).
