I've often suspected that 90% of the shops in Victoria are ran by the Mediterranean cousins of Mr Ben's favourite shopkeeper.
Now, I'm certain.
Yesterday, I had a real craving for dessert. Wander into town and a new dessert shop has opened. Where there wasn't even a shop last time I went past.

Love my local.
We've converted the Italian barman into a cricket fan and a Swiss regular into a rugby fan.
Next challenge, getting a Croatian into croquet.

Working on a little website project. I need something that is quick to build, not that expensive to run and has great templates (90% of the pages/posts will be the same layout).
Currently playing with Divi on WP and it's driving me crazy.
Any recommendations?

Gladiator 2 is opening tonight on Gozo, the nearest bar to the local cinema is our local.
A fair handful of locals were extras, so it's turned into a luvvies bar for the evening.

I appear to be in a straight-to-video sequel to Yesterday.
One in which The Beatles still exist but almost everyone has forgotten how sweepstakes work.

Would it be a bad thing to lodge a complaint about the music blasting from the holiday let across the way?
Not because the music is loud but because it is terrible and they seem incapable of playing a full song, which makes it more annoying.
(Obviously the answer is yes, as it's not yet noon here)

Friday Emergency.
Crumpet has been put in the toaster, then discovered there is no butter in the house.
I do have lard, cream and cheese though 🤔

Just caught an ad for Distinct Cremations, which I assume is a direct cremation.
It's offering a money back guarantee.
How the hell does that work? If you become be immortal, you'll get your cash back?
Or can you have to send a message via your local medium if you not happy with the service?

When a tourist finds out that I live in their holiday destination. The first question they ask is, 'What do you miss?'.
The answer is simple; people, a cosy pub & pork pies.
There are very few food items I can't get.
Although some are harder to source than others. 1/2

Apparently my pre-dinner snack, whole tomato drizzled* in salad cream is strange.
I think it beautifully marries my adoption of Mediterranean culture with a nod to my Northern English roots.
*Read initial drizzle with subsequent drizzles for each bite consumed.

Currently 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' is being attempted.
Everyone has a different idea of the tune and no one can remember the lyrics.

Friend is thinking of setting up a small handyman service on the very small island where we live.
He's asked for some help. Obviously, my first thoughts are keyword research and brand development.
