Rapport tat-Temp
This has to be a quick one because Blogger has been playing up this weekend.
1) To gybexi who wanted a weather report - Bnazzi, xemxi, rih hafif mit-tramuntana (ara ritratt fuq)
2) I've been listening to Belgian alternative rock band Vive la Fete's latest album all weekend. Described by one magazine as "sexy, fun, un groupe qui ne se prend pas trop au serieux". Cool stuff, eccentric and very hot vocals.
3) Just Chill in Brussels, episode 4 is out courtesy of Malta's own restaurant critic, columnist and general bon viveur. The jolly man took the trouble to inform us that he was in Brussels for an exhibition of (politically-backed) Maltese art, going on to describe one of his customary culinary romps. Problem being that he couldn't be arsed to remember the name of the restaurant, let alone the exact dish consumed. He even managed to get the name of the district severely bollocksed. But cheers for the info anyway. In these times of renewed socio-linguistic tension, I look forward to the interpretations on this gentleman's slips.
4) It seems that bloggers are pre-empting certain discussions at a national level. Or, at least, simply getting there before the rest of the punters. This 'unusual' article by Charles Flores (who also mentions a 'popular blog' (probably Robert's?) here) made me wonder. Maybe Toni's right. ¶ 11:30 AM

While I appreciate Charles Flores' acknowledgement of humour, I've never found his columns the funniest. I think he just misses Sylvanus and Mariella's Diary.
As for the "popular blog", he is clearly referring to mine,though admittedly I didn't raise the issue he wrote about. However, the statistics speak for themselves. Literally handfuls of people visit my blog, every day.

Flores' articles aren't exactly side-splittingly funny, I agree. But that wasn't ze point, as you know.
Well at least you've got some of the most avant-garde members of the cutting edge liberal elite reading your blog, Vlad. It's a start, huh? ;-)
Preventive clarifying note for the public: when I say "avant garde members of the cutting edge liberal elite", I'm being ironic, not serious.

He didn't get that from my blog. I don't remember blogging about that report or getting the comment he mentions. Too busy keeping the Maltese happy otherwise.
I get it now. Sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake. Which reminds me: I thought I'd hear more from you about the readership issue after I blogged about it. What gives? Did I miss something?
