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

Shopping

We headed to the supermarket for the first 'big' shop. We have some Qatar friends coming tomorrow for BBQ. The butchers shop was closed, so will have to get that tomorrow.

After getting the shopping, the kids settled in to doing some more of their room tidying, as well as hitting the pool.

I got to work on setting up the new WiFi. I had ordered up a Ubiquiti Amplifi HD + 2 Extra mesh points and delivered them to Aberdeen. N took them out with her.

It was really easy to get set up, and switching all the meshes to use a 2.4GHz backhaul to get the extra distance, we had at last full villa coverage, including pool area under 1 WiFi SSID. Just wish the actual internet connection from villa to the exchange was better. Definitely going to have to get a WISP provider installed.
