Time corrected, Google corrected, Theatre!
Good morning! First of all, a reminder to everyone in Malta, most of Europe and some other countries in the Northern Hemisphere, to put your clocks back an hour. It is that time of year when we get an extra hour to sleep! Of course, it is the same hour that was taken from us a few months back so actually, “they” owe it to us.
I am happy to inform that Google Earth has finally remembered Malta! They finally got around to photographing the eastern half of Malta, and now I can zoom down to a picture of my building. The funny thing is that they seem to have taken the pictures in the summer, while the other half was done in the winter, with the result that Malta seems to be half green and half vegetation-less. And unfortunately for our neighbours in Gozo, the island remains forgotten by Google, with the exception of the eastern edge around Mġarr. It looks like this is yet another instance of Gozo being left out by a big company. But for those of us in Malta, this is really neat. You can now zoom down to street level all over Malta and Comino. Those who would like, please e-mail me and I will send you a link that automatically zooms you in to my building.
And for my Maltese readers: last night we went to see the One-Act Play Festival at the Malta Amateur Dramatic Club in Santa Venera. This is done every year as a chance for new actors to try out and show off their acting abilities. I was quite impressed with the performances. They are playing again tonight (although it will be different plays and actors than last night) and I highly recommend it for the theatre-lovers. I used to participate in theatre many years ago, and last night I really got inspired to get into it again. I spoke with someone from MADC and will follow up about possible auditions. And I am writing it here so that I will not “chicken out” later, by having people remind me about it.
