Robert Abela portrayed as the carnival clown king in latest mural

Feb 14 2021

James Micallef Grimaud has painted another street art piece at the Msida Skate Park. This time his piece depicts Prime Minister Robert Abela as a clown king. This depiction also gives the Prime Minister a crown.

The Prime Minister is depicted to be grinding birds and a Maltese passport. This is a play on the fact that last year held the worst record for dead birds.

Grimaud said in a Facebook post, “The dead birds symbolise the illegal hunting, last year was the worst ever which has been rewarded with beautiful areas of land in Mizieb and Aħrax given to the hunters to keep killing. YEY!! Carnival seems to happen all year round in Malta!!”

Haven’t planned anything for Valentine’s Day? We’ve got you covered!

Feb 14 2021

Here are 9 ideas we’ve put together to help you get a bit creative this Valentine’s day.

Since going out will not allow the usual freedom we’re used to, most of us might be looking for indoor alternatives. Here are some foolproof ideas!

Has it been a while since you played a game just between the two of you? Well, even if it hasn’t, playing a classic is always fun!

Break out operation, monopoly or a pack of cards and make some room for some healthy competition and lots of fun!

Going for a hike is always a good idea, pick one of your favourite places, pack some food and drinks and explore the day away.

You can even back a blanket and sit down for a mini-picnic when you need a bit of break!

None of us are doing much travelling at the moment, but have you ever thought of playing tourist in your own town?

Why don’t you get dressed up, find a list of sights and locations of interest and be tourists for the day? You can go out for breakfast, explore and walk around, then sit down for a nice dinner and maybe a bottle of wine! Don’t forget the pictures!

Eating breakfast in bed is something we don’t get to do very often.

Why not wind down, and enjoy a relaxed morning this Valentine’s instead of the usual morning hustle and bustle.

Going for a drive is a great go-to! If you want to make it extra special why not choose the sunset hours.

Pick a long route or maybe a route with a sunset viewing point and enjoy a good talk and some peace and quiet on Valentine’s day.

For those of you who enjoy cooking, making a nice dinner and maybe some dessert can be a lot of fun!

Pick your favourite recipes, put on some music and maybe open a bottle of wine, and enjoy some good food, some good conversations and some good laughs.

Why not have a romantic movie marathon?

Cook up some snacks, pop open the drinks, find a comfortable area and get ready for some good movies and a relaxed evening in the company of your loved one.

If your relationship is more on the new side, why not enjoy each others company and get to know each other better over a bottle of wine?

If your relationship is a bit more mature, you can still do this and enjoy some good conversations. You never know what new information you might find out about your partner that might make your bond even more special.
