Today was mostly about our Parking Space Coffee morning. Wake up, little mini yoga session, breakfast, shower and making coffee, packing table, chairs, cups and biscuits in bags. It took us a good 20-30 min to find a white parking space in Valletta. The one we eventually encountered was a motorcycle space in St Paul …
I did very little work today. The day programme involved a ferry to Sliema, sitting for Zvezdan Reljic, an amazing photographer and print master, and finally a rather big dose of wedding outfit shopping. This year I have definitely done more shopping than the last 4 years combined (still minute when compared to the average). …
I’m in bed at 11pm, both sleepy and tired. I emerged from the cocoon that is Bahrija today where I spent the first half of the day. I’m happy with the progress we made over the last two days and it feels good to be moving on to other things for bit. I really enjoy …
I could seriously get used to this. Another Bahrija day at a relaxed but steady pace. Morning walk, some sweeping, meditation. Breakfast, some more cleaning and settling down to my computer mid morning to write some documentation with Peppi. We eventually stopped for lunch, then did some more work till 4pm when we started to …
Permaculture Malta day. To facilitate my work I’ve moved to Bahrija for just over two days. It feels easier to dedicate myself to something when I’m in it. Distractions seem to have less effect. I managed a site update on Permaculturemalta.com, there’s still much to be updated there but it’s definitely progress. Tomorrow it’s documentation …
I’m writing this diary the next day, which I guess is a little against the rules. Or is it? It’s helpful to see what I can remember of the day, what stuck. The evening bus to Rabat and dinner in Mdina is definitely a lot more vibrant in my memory than the morning working from …
Bahrija day. Early wake up, breakfast and a drive to Bahrija to welcome a group of students from Kingston University in London who visited Bahrija during a fieldwork trip to Malta. It was fun to see them explore the wonders of a compost toilet for the first time and their surprise at how ‘normal’ it …
Flurry of activity day. A late start, cat feeding and plant watering at Arch B, some city errands, a trip to Xrobb L-Ghagin close to Marsaxlokk (which was wonderful but also upsetting to see fish farms so close to the shore). Home for some food and then to Spazju Kreattiv for Victor Agius’s exhibition Consume …
In frustration and indecision mode. I’m looking at my own website and being unhappy with the way it presents my work and how laborious it is to update it properly. I’m updating it anyway and working on finding a better system in the long run. One that is easier to manage on the go. Tonight …
It’s almost the middle of the day and today I am really confronted with some big questions. This week and the next are dedicated to documentation and catching up with things and as everything is slower and quieter, as I have options over what to do with my time, questions about what I actually want …
