"Everything was going fine, .... , then the next day-- big trouble. Which was strange because nothing was modified or changed - to my knowledge."

What does 'Which' stand for? I think it means "This" and refers to big trouble. Am I right?

Many thanks.

Yes, but your paragraph is riddled with punctuation and grammatical errors.

Not to mention that "modified" means "changed", so it's redundant to use both.

As a transcription of speech, it doesn't seem all that bad, Mame. Possibly one or two punctuation changes if it were to go to publication.

I can't see any grammatical errors though and the two words, while they are synonyms, can have quite different meanings.
