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

School Day 1......and a spot of Mobile accounts

Up early, can't be late for school on the first day! Also need to make sure we leave enough time, as not actually found the 'best' route to school yet, never mind seeing what it was like on a school day.

Arrived in plenty of time, then we had the inevitable anxiety issues.....anyway, managed to get them both into class, let's just leave it at that!

We went back to the villa for a bit, then headed to meet the Qatar crowd in the Elysium Hotel for breakfast. Chewed the fat for a while and then set off.

Headed into the Cyta shop in the Kings Avenue Mall, but were told I couldn't set up the family plan there as I needed to pay a €500 deposit, and that had to be done at the main branch.
Back into the car, and headed off to find the main branch up beside the civic square. Found the place, and parked up and headed in. Sat down with the guy, told him what we wanted, paid the deposit. He also managed to get mobile numbers that were very close to my existing number, and off we went with 3 new SIM cards and a bunch of paperwork.

Picked the kids up from school, and had the expected unhappy faces. See what tomorrow brings.

We headed for some ice-cream, and ended up having an early dinner. We drove along the coast and stopped at Theo Sunset Bay Holiday Resort, and had some food in their outdoor cafe area that overlooks the bay.

Went back to the villa, and after trialling the 24hour IPTV subscription, decided to take out the full subs package. So got that registered and set up on the box. Works out at £110 per year, for 3 connections on the premium package.
