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

2019 Kymco MXU550i - Quick dash and splash in the river!

What better way to blow away the cobwebs after an all day birthday BBQ for one of my pals the day before......Out for a run on the quads to the east of Paphos and down into the river bed for a quick bath.

I was absolutely soaked, but so worth it! Didn't take long to dry after, just continue blasting about in the sun while standing up and it was just like being in a hand dryer.

The bike itself is the 2019 Kymco MXU550i (EU model) and have had it for about 2 months now, and covered about 750km on it so far. So much fun, and with the tracks all over the island and the weather like it is, you can do so much exploring, and see a lot more than you do in the car.
