Monday (Sept 1st): A massive tsunami could hit Malta any day! At least that's how the newspapers are trying to spin a rather more mundane news item. In fact it was discovered that there was a tsunami about 350 years ago which hit the north east of the island, and thus it is technically possible that there could be another one. Despite the fact that I live in the North East of the island, I am not losing any sleep.
Tuesday: Floriana is due to get a big of a facelift, which to be quite honest it could do with. At the moment it's a dusty, traffic-clogged main street adjacent to a big square and some government buildings.
Wednesday: The "biggest music event" in Malta has been cancelled just a day before it was due to start. So no heaven on this part of the earth, and it's not altogether clear if people are being refunded for their €30 tickets.

Thursday: Tween favourite Loom Bands have been Loom Banned (headline writers seem to have missed that one) in Malta. There are some chemicals in them or something, I don't really care. 'Loom Banned'.
Friday: A new speed camera has been installed at the Xemxija bypass. Honest to God this is what passes for a news story around here.
Saturday: Apparently Malta has gone Kate-crazy, in advance of the visit of the Duchess of Cambridge. Can't say that I've noticed.
Sunday: A skinny-dipping Frenchman gets fined €4,000. Nobody wins in this situation.
