Visitors! Visitors!!
Something quite unexpected happened over the weekend. The little blog has had its first visitors that are people I did not already know! At first I was absolutely stunned as to how this happened, but I guess there must be a way to look up all the Maltese blogs. I am quite flattered at having these new readers.
Ivan, thank you for the map tip. I actually found my tiny street on that website, which means it is accurate and up-to-date.
Kenneth, I will have to try to find that store, if nothing else as a challenge of finding a place in Malta.
G, you know the banana trick as well! The best is to buy them when they have been cut when they are yellow, but unfortunately that is only possible in the countries that grow bananas. Here we must settle with the green ones surviving the transit across the ocean.
Barbara, your guess is not entirely right, but I did live there for many years.
Thanks to my new and of course to my regular readers. I feel newly invigorated about keeping up the blog.
I actually got to know about you cos you were featured on Wired Temples and was very intrigued by your cinema story.
When I had gone to watch a film in London I was horrified that there wasn’t an intermission because you don’t have a chance to buy another drink or a chocolate for after your popcorn! But the cinema at St.James Cavalier doesn’t have any previews or intermissions - the film starts, plays and ends - that’s it. It’s also cheaper but doesn’t have the blockbuster films… more the arty films.
Greg, I thought of you today when I saw someone at the University of Minnesota law school who looked a lot like you and I instantly missed you. We miss you here in the States, but it sounds like life in Malta is engaging & interesting. I might have to come see for myself!!

Hi there! I also found your blog via Wired Temples. Robert has a knack for sniffing out new Malta related blogs. He provided my blog with readers from day 1 - when all I wanted to do was dabbling around with my blog by myself.
Your views on life in Malta are reminding me much of my own experiences of many years ago. You’ll soon get used to most of the idiosyncrasies - and those you’ll never understand will always provide you with more blog fodder!
Welcome to the Maltese blogosphere!
You have me wanting to run away to Malta.
