When the highlight of the day is shopping at Lidl (Maltese version of Pak n Save) – and even then the air con is faltering (probably a mere 30 degrees) you realise it’s an inside day! Meanwhile in the. Car….
She’s 40 degrees and rising! The roads are quiet (the Maltese opting to stay at home)
This morning was work then a quick trip with Roland to apply for ID cards – Rols firs one and my renewal to a 60+ (yep in Malta we are officially old at 60!) meaning lots of benefits for us retired folks! I wish!
Then back to work for a few hours and a lunch break with Kevin – errands and lunch at a cafe I will not be retuning to / cheap and nasty toasted sandwich! A trip to the supermarket – supposedly the coolest place to (only it wasn’t) and a dragonfly hanging on desperately to our car aerial!
Home for another few hours work – Kev for a nap and voila.. the day is done and the hand is over the yardarm- it’s 5 o’clock somewhere in the world and a nice cold beer was in order.
Salad again for dinner (nothing else appeals) and as the night sets in we are all in bed by 10pm – aircon and fans blasting away for a pleasant nights sleep! There are no fireworks tonight (for the first time in days) and the evening is quiet – for Malta!
It is exactly one week since I arrived to this Mediterranean heatwave – have to say not sad! Loving the warmth and with only for pieces of clothing a day needed-the laundry is vastly reduced!
All who wander are not Lost girls 
Hi Sue I have enjoyed reading your blog posts. John is cringing at the temperatures but, like you, I like warm and salads. Cold and roast temperatures here. We both have very fond memories of Malta and of the day we spent with you and Russell in 2019. Loved the photos of the Grand Harbour and Fort St Angelo – you look very relaxed. We share your thoughts about masks. Cheers from Nelson Chris Baumfield
