How To Deal With Power Cuts in Malta

Jul 17 2024

Living in Malta has its perks – beautiful beaches, historical sites, and amazing food. But then there are the power cuts, those unexpected moments when everything goes dark and you’re left wondering how to pass the time without your beloved electronic devices. Fear not! Here are five hilariously practical ways to handle power cuts in Malta.

1. Channel Your Inner Caveman

When the lights go out, it’s time to get back to basics. Light some candles and pretend you’re living in prehistoric times. Gather your family around and tell stories by candlelight. If you’re feeling really adventurous, try making shadow puppets on the wall. Who knew a simple power cut could turn into a family bonding and creative storytelling session? Just be sure to keep those candles away from the curtains!

2. Read a Book

Remember those paper things with words printed on them? They’re called books, and they don’t need electricity. Power cuts are the perfect excuse to dive into that novel you’ve been neglecting. Grab a flashlight, cozy up in your favorite chair, and let your imagination roam free. It’s a classic pastime that requires no batteries, no internet, and no power. Plus, you’ll look super intellectual and mysterious in the glow of your flashlight.

3. Host a Candlelit Dinner

Turn a power cut into a romantic opportunity. Break out the candles, set the table, and serve up a no-cook meal like sandwiches or a salad. Pretend you’re dining at a fancy, candlelit restaurant. The dim lighting will add a touch of elegance, and you can impress your partner with your creativity. If you’re dining solo, it’s still a great excuse to enjoy a peaceful, distraction-free meal. And hey, you can always pretend you’re in a historical drama.

4. Play Board Games or Card Games

Rediscover the joy of old-school entertainment with some good old-fashioned board games or card games. Monopoly, Scrabble, Uno – the options are endless. It’s a great way to pass the time, have some laughs, and maybe get a little competitive. Just be prepared for the inevitable argument over the rules of the game. Who knew power cuts could bring out everyone’s inner game enthusiast?

5. Practice Your Stand-Up Comedy

Why not use this time to unleash your inner comedian? Gather everyone around and take turns doing stand-up comedy. Make jokes about the power cut, your daily life, or Maltese quirks. It’s a great way to lighten the mood and share some laughs. If you’re really good, you might even discover a hidden talent for comedy. Who needs Netflix when you’ve got live entertainment right in your living room?

Power cuts in Malta don’t have to be a drag. Embrace them as a chance to get creative, have some fun, and enjoy a break from the digital world. So, light those candles, grab a book, whip up a candlelit dinner, dust off the board games, and get ready to laugh. Before you know it, the lights will be back on, and you’ll have some unforgettable memories to look back on.
