From Manuel Delia's blog: This is my translation of an article carried yesterday by La Repubblica. If you can, read the original here. “State of Denial”: an English expression that accurately describes the effect of the new revelations published Tuesday by La Repubblica and the Daphne Project coordinated by Forbidden Stories, throwing light once more [...]
On the 5th of March the unofficial memorial set up by mourners following the assassination of investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was swept away overnight. Maybe ‘they' thought that people would forget; uwiva, let it go ħi. Granted - overwhelming apathy and failure to stand up to the abuse of power is essentially how we [...]
As I write this, I'm sitting at Waterstones watching snow drift past the windows overlooking Newcastle city centre. To my left - a red pot of Earl Grey tea (fitting, since I'm so close to Grey's Monument) and a teacup, with a cherry and walnut chocolate tiffin beside it. What's a tiffin? I have no [...]
Hello, internet friends! People say that when you live abroad, you learn more things about yourself. One of these things I've learnt in just over two months here is that I love cooking, and can pretty much handle myself in the kitchen (so far, anyway). I find it relaxing and pretty damn satisfying, and I get [...]
There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. - Daphne Caruana Galizia I've been trying to write and re-write this blog post for a while now. Part of me still can't quite believe that Daphne Caruana Galizia is dead - murdered. Assassinated, to be precise. Every time I sat down to write [...]
Well it looks like I actually went through with the whole 'moving to Newcastle' thing, huh? It's barely been three days (as I write this post I've been in the city for approximately 2 days and 18 hours), but I've been running around taking care of all the bits and pieces that need to be done [...]
Well I have been quiet for a fair while, haven't I? Things have been a little hectic, partly because holy shit I'm moving abroad for the first time in my life. And that kind of thing takes time, you know? Existential crises take time. Where am I off to and what's the plan? Anyway, I'm [...]
Well, here we are again. Another travel blog. Hush - don't look at the ridiculous amount of shopping I did, and ignore the packets of waffles and other Dutch treats next to me. Definitely don't pay any attention to the two bags I didn't need that I bought from duty free on the way back. [...]
So every once in a while I take a break from being 100% sass and share a little 'outfit of the day'. Why? Because when I actually spend time putting an outfit together, it needs to be commemorated in some way. The same rule applies to when my make up is cooperating with my actual [...]
Well hello there, you. I know I've been relatively quiet recently (life stuff) and this blog post has been a long-ish time coming - Claire (From Claire's POV) was sweet enough to nominate me for a Sunshine Blogger award! Thank you. I didn't know this was a thing, but here are the 'rules': Thank the [...]
