Sunnier and warmer weather expected for next week

Mar 25 2021

After a whole week of cloudy and rainy weather, it looks like the upcoming week will be blessing Malta with some well needed sunlight and warmth. Temperatures are seemingly going up after last week’s 10 to 12 degrees chilly weather, with the first three days of next week predicted to be mainly sunny.

After last week’s weather seemed to reinforce people’s need to stay indoors due to measures, it is important to remember that despite the refreshing weather expected for next week, health measures are still to be observed. We can all enjoy the wonderful weather safely!

Valentina Rossi urges people to support local eateries this Easter

Mar 25 2021

Valentina Rossi took to Instagram to express how sad it is to walk in Valletta with all of its restaurants closed up. She highlighted the insecurity of not knowing whether business would be coming on for all those workers still maintaining the restaurants during these trying times.

Rossi emphasised the importance of supporting local restaurants during Easter instead of cooking for yourself. By ordering from restaurants one usually dines in during the festivities and checking their delivery menu, one can both take it easy and helping businesses that require all the aid necessary.

Brits pay billions in debt during lockdown

Mar 24 2021

Despite COVID-19 lockdown led to many suffering from financial crises, from job uncertainty to down-sizing, it has also seen some interesting benefits for some who managed to save and pay off debts due to lockdown. Brits have allegedly paid off £7.4 billion in credit card and other consumer debts during the first lockdown. New figures from Bank of England show that £18.5 billion was put into saving accounts in January, four times as much as the same month in previous years.

One cannot help but wonder whether something similar happened in Malta. Some might have managed to take a look at their finances and spend more responsibly or restrained themselves from useless spending. With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting every aspect of our lives, from lockdowns to quarantine, it is interesting to consider whether some people experienced something similar in Malta.

Furthermore, the petition, which collected around 15 signatures, claimed that the residents had called for roadworks to occur in the area as it needed to be upgraded to facilitate passage for fire engines and ambulances. Tensions remain high as the activists insist they have ample evidence to protest and thus remain vigilant on site.
