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

Schooling applications...

I remember the pain and suffering of completing schooling applications for moving to Qatar, and here we are again 2 years later going through the process again!

There are 3 British schools in Paphos so really need to apply to them all to hopefully get places somewhere.

The first school provided all the information and application forms etc, so they were duly filled in and submitted.

The second school is currently full and short waiting lists for next year, so no applications can be made yet. However, we have booked a viewing and entrance exams as a preliminary measure for when we go visit Cyprus at the end of March.

The 3rd school is being very quiet, no response to emails, bit strange, wonder if they are even getting our messages!
