Epically long day. My throat is a bit scratchy, my brain all foggy. I intended to finish a little more than I got to tonight but I really must sleep now. I slept late yesterday, woke up early and had a full day with three chapters. Morning chapter shopping for food to prototype dishes for …
It’s 2:09 am and I’m finally writing my diary. I’ve been running behind with diary entries these last few days and I decided I’m catching up today, despite it being clearly very much past my bedtime. I find that writing an entry too long after the day gives it all a different flavour and I’m …
Bahrija day through and through. A second day of wilderness, Permaculture Foundation work and hanging out with friends. It feels like we’re making progress although there’s still so much that needs to happen. It feels good to be part of something worthwhile.
Bahrija Day. I’ve retreated from the city into the wilderness for the next day and a half. It’s been an active day at Bahrija with visits, new people, shared meals and lots of talk of plans, hopes and dreams for the short and long term future of this place. I’ve spent most of the day …

Facilitors Maja and Nik from ‘transdisciplinary laboratory’ foam helped us imagine 4 scenarios of the future: a continuation of the present, a collapse, forced change and transformation. We looked at futures …
It’s almost 9pm and I’m tired. It’s been a long day without much stopping. Early morning yoga, a Skype call with Australia which opened up the potential for a lot of new work, a meeting with a curator and a production manager about possibly project managing part of their exhibition. It’s incredibly interesting work and …
Monday, funday (? Is that allowed on a Monday?), homeworking day in Valletta. I woke up at around 9am, feeling a bit lazy but I had no morning meetings so why not? I had breakfast, showered and sat down to work by 10. The benefits of having an office right there in your balcony. I …
🎤Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 65? 🎤 Bahrija day through and through. Waking up at Bahrija Oasis has a special quality to it. There’s a kind of peace that’s difficult to find in other places. I woke up and went directly to writing again, this time on my …
