So you’ve probably been wondering what we’ve been doing for the last few days.
Sunday was a recovery day from our Birgu Fest adventure. We did need to pick up a few groceries so we walked over to a different market on Dingli St. We went down Gorg Borg street. That is where the Caruana family (Aussies)lived and had property. I didn’t find the number 49 yet where they lived, but I believe number 48 is their investment property. I’ll have to see what Louis has to say about the photo below and whether it is their property.
We always like this corner house with its pretty bougainvillea and bright blue paint.
Sunday evening we walked over to Spinola Bay to have dinner at Raffael’s. Christine always gets the Timpani, a favorite Maltese dish. I had pasta and seafood. It was a nice evening sitting out on the terrace enjoying the lights reflecting in the water.
Monday I woke up not feeling well. I had some sort of a gastrointestinal issue, so I went back to bed. Soon thereafter, the “you know what” hit. Let’s just say that it wasn’t pleasant. Actually, it was pretty awful. I went back to bed, but not for long. Let’s just say that the 24-hour bug (or food poisoning) was active for 24-hours. During the afternoon, we needed water. We certainly don’t drink the tap water here (especially after our water fiasco in 2016). Christine went up to the store to buy water. She got a pack of 6 really large bottles that were super heavy. She struggled down the street with them until a nice woman asked if she could help her. She carried the pack of water down around the corner and to our building’s entrance. That was very nice of her. I definitely wasn’t able to be of any assistance at that point. But it was good to have fresh water, which is all I was able to keep down. It was a real accomplishment for Christine to have done that task.
Tuesday, I was feeling better enough to be up out of bed. Midday I even ate something. Then Christine had a bit of a spell, losing her breakfast. So, I guess it was a 24-hour bug. She remained logy all day. Feeling better, I needed to move around a bit and get outside. I walked along our rocks and around Exile Point. On the way home, I stopped in our market for a few things. By the time I got home, I was hot and exhausted. Guess I did too much. But I took a couple of nice photos.
And now it’s Wednesday. I’m up and dressed, but I think Christine may not be 100% yet, although her bug doesn’t seem to be as bad as mine was. It has put a damper on our activities, though. Hopefully, we both will be recovered sufficiently to some sort of excursion on Thursday. Here’s hoping!
