You know what the Netflix/YouTube generation will never know? The sheer impatience of waiting for your TV show to return from a break filled with (mostly) cringeworthy advertisements. I mean, sure, they’ll be advertised to in other ways but they won’t feel that urgent itch to grab the remote and rescue themselves from ads failing…
If there was some kind of award for “Most Frequently Daydreams About Travel”, I am convinced I would have collected a few by now. Enough to fill an almost-empty award shelf and gain some kind of validation about the way I choose to spend a large fraction of my time. However, while I wait for…

In case my last post wasn’t convincing enough to make you want to visit Malta (good thing I didn’t pursue a career in law, amiright), I’m hoping this one will do the trick. For those who WERE convinced and asked me about the visa etc. here’s some quick info before I get to the photo…
Here’s a quick fact to demonstrate my borderline obsession with cake: I’m stuffing my face with cheesecake as I write this. Now that I’ve satisfied my penchant for oversharing, let us proceed (feel free to do your own bit of oversharing in the comments; wouldn’t want you to read this without having the option to…
