this & that from my everyday life
Christmas dinner is saved!
I’ve found Findus “Klassiska & goda” meat balls in one of the stores nearby. I knew they had Findus frozen vegetables, but I’ve never seen meat balls here before.

We started Christmas Eve by taking our guests on a sightseeing tour. When we left Swieqi we saw two Volvo cars. I don’t think I have seen more than 5 Volvo’s here on Malta, so I had to document the moment.
I’ve finally been to Candynavia!
