The good news is there’s a lot you can do right now, like securing tall and heavy furniture, and getting a builder to look at your chimney. Everything you need to know is at EQC’s site.
Don’t wait for the next earthquake to shake you into action, get started now.
A lovely picture from Louise Thomas.

What’s Your Ethos Towards Energy?
The cost of energy is one of the biggest costs for homes, schools and business. From our research, most buildings waste energy from using outdated, inefficient technology.
Heat Pumps and Ducted System.
Efficent Heating is a big issue for home owners. Heat Pumps Systems is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home and business.
In some cases, up to 500% more efficient.
We hate the idea of you waiting in the cold for your heat pump installation which is why we endeavour to keep your wait time to 10 working days or less. This is so important to us that if we can’t keep this promise we offer a 10% discount on your install.
Heat Energy Recovery.
Do you have unbalanced heat across your property? Crying windows? Stuffy offices or /classroom with no fresh air?
The best way to improve the air quality in a home, business or school without losing heat is to use a Balanced Pressure Heat Recovery Ventilation system.
Ethos energy is the leader in the local region with extensive knowledge and credentials in this new technology and have the right the tools at their disposal to design and install in all situations.
LED Lighting.
Did you know LED Lights pay for themselves over the course of their lifetime? Most commercial and school buildings have old, inefficient fluorescent fittings.
LED light fittings use up to a third less electricity, slashing energy costs.
Some Schools and commercial buildings can recoup the costs of switching to LED Lights within 6 to 24 months* from installation.
*This depends on the light use time and quantity of fittings that are replaced.

I am looking forward to going to training school and continuing to socialise to let out some of my big puppy energy. I am estimated to be medium to large once fully grown. I am the girl who is always up for a cuddle and treats, and will generally be the bravest of my siblings. Being a young puppy, I do require a home with someone around for parts of the day. This will help build my confidence around people, ensure I get lunch, and help with general training. If you think I am the pup for you, contact SPCA’s Canine Team for more information."

Have a glowing reference looking for long term if possible.
Also open to house sitting if there is any one needing their pets pads looked after.

But what is yarn? What is spun yarn? Are there other types? What does it all mean, and how much relevance does this bear to your final fabric? That’s what we are here to look at in a little more detail.
What is Yarn?
Yarn is a length of fibres. That’s the simplest way to explain it. It is a continuous length of fibres which are interlocked, and it’s used to produce fabrics, as well as in crocheting, knitting, embroidery and ropemaking.
This means that we can split yarn into two different ‘categories’ of sorts. The thread that is used for embroidery or in sewing machines, as well as yarn (commonly known as balls-of-wool) used in crafts such as knitting or crocheting, are long lengths that are bought as yarns.
The alternative would be a yarn which is then knitted or woven into a fabric. The textile is then bought as fabric, in lengths, rather than the yarn itself being purchased separately. This second description is the one that we will explore further in this post.
What is Yarn Made From?
Yarn can be made from such a variety of different fibres. This includes both natural and synthetic fibres. The most common plant fibre is cotton, however, you can also use other natural fibres such as bamboo. Alongside cotton, the synthetic polyester fibre makes up the two most commonly used fibres. Animal fibres are also often used, such as wool, harvested from sheep, as well as cashmere (harvested from goats) Angora (from rabbits) and silk (from insect larvae).
What is the Difference Between Spun and Filament Yarn?
Spun yarn is made by twisting staple fibres together in either an S or Z twist, to make a single thread. The process of twisting the fibres together into yarn is called spinning and it was one of the first processed to be industrialised. Spun yarns can contain a single type of fibre, or you can spin various types of fibre together to give you a blend.
Filament yarn is made up of filament fibres which are either twisted together or simply grouped together. It can either be composed of one filament, which is called a monofilament, or it could be made of more than one, in which case it would be known as a multifilament. This can be as few as two or three filament fibres, or even up to 50, or more.
