Last day on Gozo, so left apartment and went over to look at Ġgantija – a megalithic temple complex, before heading down to Mgarr, pizza on triq ix xatt in the only open restaurant, and then ferry back to Malta.
Jogging in the morning then drive over to Mgarr to see rental property – great size and just up from Harbour, but not sure about being in Mgarr. Super meal on hill at Restaurant Xerri Il Bukkett, Mgarr Heights – rabbit in garlic…yummy and a great view!
Met up with rep from Frank Salt and looked at two rental properties in Marsalforn, both facing the bay. Neither had enough appeal as both had balconies but not in direct position for sun.
Game of Monopoly in the apartment in the evening
Caught ferry to Gozo and stayed in Carini Farmhouses Santu Pietru Street Gharb for three nights. The farmhouse was beautiful four large bedrooms each with shower and toilet facilities. Very clean – three floors, pool, great view over Gharb. Great value for money. Went to the Azure Window and a lovely sunset to end the day.

I added music to the new music web platform Orfium, three days later I was number 1, 2 and 4 in their charts.
Spent an enjoyable afternoon in the company of the very creative Stephen Rodgers at his recently opened Blue Elephant studio. Here he is making another miniature pig for sale in the gallery’s retail space.
I just bought a slow cooker…in the instructions it says “do not use the slow cooker other than for its intended use” Well what else would you use one for??!!
