Yet more Earthquakes in Southwest Bulgaria

Well it has been a couple of weeks of quakes now at both ends fo Bulgaria. Hopefully the earth's crust in this region is now settled into place for a while and not give many grumbles for a while. I said it before, but better to have lots of little quakes than one big one. That's quite reassuring really.
