Experiments with enough – Day 87
A slow day after many fast ones. I woke up at around 8, eventually got myself onto the yoga mat and did half an hour of moving with Adriene. Breakfast and chats with my new friend João and eventually abut an hour of work on a document for the Permaculture Foundation. My mind is queueing …
Experiments with enough – Day 85
Today is brought to you by a lot of thought. Thought about how to make the house I live in look better without investing too much time and money into a rental accommodation that might disappear any day thanks to Valletta’s rate of gentrification. Thought about owning a house again. Thought about how I could …
Experiments with enough – Day 84
Coming back day. I woke up early and took the boat to Marco Polo airport, having a goodbye tour of Venice in the process. It was sadly a closed boat but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The rest of the day was mostly airports, food, planes, some airport writing, a spot of hopeful searching for a …
Experiments with enough – Day 83
Oh my biennale what a day. I spent most of the day at Giardini exploring pavilions and later following people around ‘discreetly’ (ahem) photographing their tote bags (as you do).

Homo Melitensis day. Early start, trek from Mestre to the Arsenale which involved a bus and a great long walk from Piazzale Roma. I managed not to get lost thanks to Google Maps which was great. The Arsenale approach was marked with a long queue of people waiting to get in and a very penis-looking …

I’m finishing off some Biennale social media work and my day’s diary then off to sleep in anticipation of the Malta Pavilion press unveiling day tomorrow. I cannot wait to finally meet Homo Melitensis in person. I’ve seen parts of …
Experiments with enough – Day 80
A day spent predominantly shopping, which is a complete non thing for the me of the past few years. I usually do a lot more of the use what you have and possibly make something new out of it kind of thing. Today though I felt like I needed some things and off I gingerly …
Experiments with enough – Day 79
Feeling like there is thinking space in my life again, with the insecurities and hesitancy that that brings with it. Today filled me with energy. I woke up towards 10am and made the mistake of reading my emails first thing (will I ever learn not to?). There was a work email full of shoulds and …
Experiments with enough – Day 77
Exhibition over. Emotional. Very tired. Excited. Intensely, intensely grateful. This has been a wonderful week and an experience that has left its mark on many parts of me.
