My first proper Earthquake!

 Last night at 3.07am was woken to everything moving, bedroom cupboard door rattling and general WTF moment! This is my first really quake, the previous one I had felt while I was offshore in Qatar, but thought that was just the crane driver being a bit rough with a load landing. Last nights was different, the whole place was shaking and lying it bed it felt really weird last a good 20+ seconds I would have guessed. Turns out it was a Magnitude 6.6, located around 48Km WNW of Polis, off the west coast of Cyprus. At least no damage here and everyone fine. Eldest daughter thought it was 'so cool', think that was her first experience of one as well. Full details can be found at: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000gaqu/executive

More ice-cream.....

Started the day off with dropping the kids off a school. Day 2, went in a lot easier today, so things definitely settling down.

Next off was the Bank, needed to get another account set up and bank card for N. We went in, and signed the usual mountain of paperwork, but the woman in the bank is very helpful. Pick the cards and pin's up from the branch next week. While we were in, she also set up an appointment for the next morning to see the medical insurance rep.

After the bank it was off to the Bookshop again. On day 1, M had been told which Greek book she needed, so went in to get it.

Then it was back to the house for a few hours chill, before it was time to pick up the kids from school. After picking them up, we headed over to the Elysium Hotel where our Qatar fiends were staying. Met up with them for some ice cream before they were heading back to Qatar that afternoon. Actually ended up with two helpings, as we were first sat down in the Mediterranean restaurant, where had a selection pot of Häagen Dazs, then went up to lounge where I couldn't resist a Häagen Dazs chocolate brownie and ice-cream once the kids had started looking through the book.

Said our goodbyes and see you laters to our pals and headed back to the villa.
