Today we went to Marsaxlokk for the Sunday market. Here are some examples of things to buy:
It was a lot of people here this sunday, more than usual. I guess it had something to do with the Christmas parade and entertainment! The kids were really good at dancing and the younger kids were so cute! [...]

I have had a sore throat for a few days now and today I have been freezing. So I’m wearing almost all warm clothes I have now; long-sleeved shirt, sweater, scarf and warm socks. But I have no cap, so I’ve borrowed Santa’s cap. It’s keeping me warm!
I’m drinking tea with honey now and I hope I [...]

I’ve had some big problems with my tangled hair the last few months. Usually a hair cut solves the problem, but not this time. It takes me 10, sometimes 15 minutes to comb through the hair after a shower, and it looks like half my hair ends up on the comb every time.

The temperature inside is about the same as outside. There are no or very little isolation in the walls. Last winter when it was 14-15°C outside, we had the same temperature inside. That feels coooold when you’ve had a shower or get out of bed in the morning!
It’s already started to be a little chilly inside, [...]

This is something I’ve been thinking about – how does people in wheelchair get around on this island? I’ve seen the parking spaces for people with disabled badge, but it must be a nightmare to shop. My little every-day-shop around corner has a narrow door where I don’t think a wheelchair could get in unless [...]

Advent wreath without decorations
We now have red-and-gold coloured star in the livingroom and a golden star in the study. Unfortunately the light from the energy bulbs are very white and cold, but maybe I’ll get used to it…
I bought this advent wreath today, but I didn’t find any better candles or decorations. I’ll buy that [...]
