This thirty-three year old (ok Chris?) is back from a splendid stay in Gozo. Having missed the last five Augusts in Malta I keep wondering how the hell I used to survive the heat at this time of the year. Actually it is not the heat that worries most but the humidity. As my friend put it very well this evening:  “There’s probably 2% air in this humidiy”.  I still went on to win the game of Pit after indulging in take-away chinese and a good glass of chilled Jacob’s Creek. Tomorrow we will fight the humidity from the sea. I am off on a boat trip for the day during which I intend to fully enjoy the pleasures of a deck-chair-less Comino and a dip in Mgarr ix-Xini.

As for the J’accuse rendez-vous … look out on this space for a possibly quasi-spontaneous meeting point in Naxxar during Friday’s lunch break – agenda of the meeting will be an open discussion on what Bartu’s toon could look like next Sunday. You will get to meet Malta’s greatest living cartoonist over Kinnie and Twistees. More news to be posted Thursday evening.

P.S. Bertu has no idea about this. All the better. We get to see how often he reads this blog. Tee-hee.

I’m off to melt in bed and rest before tomorrow’s boat trip. A bien tot!
