Ok, so... I'm still alive. Sorry I didn't say more about that: I'm well and much much better.

However now the earth itself is trying to kill me. Well.. ok, I exagerate, but to a non-native it was fun/impressive that 4.7 Earthquake hit a short distance north of me and we just felt it rock the floor like being in a car when the motor splutters and dies.

Pretty neat!
