The Sunday Times of Malta, that is. Christine went to the market for a few things and came home with two Sunday newspapers, The Times of Malta and The Independent. What’s better than a lazy day reading the Sunday newspaper?
And that’s about all that happened today. We had a wonderfully blissful, lazy day, mostly reading. I made brunch – mushroom cheese omelet with bacon and home fries, just like we often have at home. The most energetic thing I did was walk across the street and sit on the quay for a while in the afternoon. I had intended to go swimming, but the breeze was starting to pick up and was a little chilly, never good when you’re trying to talk yourself into getting in to cold water. But I enjoyed the sun and watching all the people at the quay and around the little beach. Another deterrent to swimming was a jet ski that was very noisy and was zooming around the bay at incredibly high speeds. The owner put in at the quay and kept coming back to talk to a friend on the quay. The jet skier would also zoom into Balluta Bay at high speed, which I’m sure people found very objectionable. Some kind of official boat eventually came and two burly uniformed guys got out on the quay to talk to the jet skier. Hopefully they gave him a citation for unsafe speed and disturbing the peace. Eventually, he loaded up his jet ski and left.
Pleasure reading on a Sunday is a great way to spend the day, and we both did a lot of that. Christine also found some more slideshows on YouTube of old Malta photos. We love looking at those and trying to figure out where they were taken.
So that’s all for today. Have I mentioned we have a great view from our flat?? A lot of boats coming and going to keep track of today.
