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

The Arrival........Day #19

Today, the last full day before I head back to Qatar.

I had to pop in past the bank to pick up my PIN, as the one they sent out never arrived at the villa, reason unknown! I did mention to the bank that the address they have on account and on the letters I have seen that I picked up doesn't exactly match the villa address, but they said it isn't a problem and no need to change it.

Also went with the land lady today to the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, and got the electric meter transferred over onto me. We will have to do the water another day as that is done up in the local village somewhere.

Also had another success today, setting up the Sonos system, surprised how much easier it was to do than the wifi. The technology in the Sonos boxes must be more efficient, better positioned antenna or whatever reasons, but they all linked up without any hassle.

Last few moving things around etc, and start to baton down the hatches before tomorrow.
