Only 6,1 on Richter scale, unfortunately no one dead..... so not big news for the world press few people with bruces no house broke down seriously, few old barns lost one of their walls, can“t wait for after shocks tonight when in bed to get some free massage....

In all I am fine and having fun as usual, preparing our first race for the season on Saturday

Bogi

p.s.
Thanks for the concern

Living in a country on the move all the time our houses are built to withstand big quakes our news media are up ears trying to find every little stone that moved to be able to report in direct broadcast since 15.52 hours and still are..... what a pathetic profession to be in
