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

Camouflage Hawk Moth

There have been a few of these lately as the associated caterpillars have been eating their way through the Oleander bushes in the garden.

I found one hanging on for dear life at the edge of the swimming pool and the one below was sitting on the back door this morning.

To give you a idea of size, the bit of door it was hanging on is 2.5 inches tall (approx. 6 cm)
