A Place in the Sun

It's been extremely windy over the last week and according to Windfinder it does not seem to be about to change until next Thursday. I found an interesting web page, for those who want to windsurf in Malta, complete with wind forecast and, if you're a foreigner, what to expect - click here . The sea was already very rough last Sunday - you could see the white horses from San Gwann, with no need of binoculars (and i'm myopic!!), let alone after a week of blowing!

The wind has hit the islands quite badly this week, ever since last weekend. It does not seem to be giving up - I read on windfinder that it's due to remain this way at least until Saturday. It's also getting colder, of course - which is to be expected. Considering all, the start into the winter has been pretty slow. So now is the time to cuddle up in front of TV with a few good DVD's, or a good book. I'm currently reading Hannibal, after having read The Silence of the Lambs. I quite like Thomas Harris' way of writing. I've also discovered the joys of reading Stephen King, having started with Dreamcatcher. With much of these scary books, I don't think I can handle the film - I'm quite squeamish when it comes to bloodshed, so I often opt out. The start of winter, distressing as it is because I miss the summer sun, will mean the beginning of the party season, so watch this space for more photos.
