Here are a few impressions (um… quite a few LOL!) of how the week ended. Home at 2 am on Saturday morning. And yes, that is late if you’re my age! Keith and Julian from Noise Studios moved their “Noise@…” events from Connection to Brookies, also in Victoria, three weeks ago. The setting is great (think typical converted Gozitan farmhouse, with a few modern touches thrown in), and thus offered some nice atmospheric fodder for my lens. Before moving upstairs for the music, we ate at the restaurant downstairs (which Brookies is mainly known for), and the food was great too!
Because the workshop that I mentioned in my previous post took place over two days, I had the pleasure of sampling one of the finest rooms at The Palace, venue of the seminar. (Thank you to Kempinski for the voucher, and to Mario for the allocating the lovely room!) I literally had Sliema at my feet and the only sad thing about it all was that I didn’t really have much time that I could spend up there.
Woke up to the kind of grey, wet and cold Sunday morning that justifies a lengthy lie-in. I hoped to even sleep much longer as the second half of this week sported a serious lack of that. But Simba has made it a morning habit of lying right across my feet, presumably to annoy the hell out of me so I’ll wake up: his weight of nearly 10kg are no joke!
Wednesday I got up at 5 in the morning to go to Malta, where I attended a 2-days’ workshop about social media marketing. It was pretty intensive, and an eye-opener too: thinking I knew it all (well, almost, anyways), Twitter and its ramifications really brought me down to my knees… I had signed up a couple of years ago (I think) but only out of my usual curiosity. I quickly discarded it again because I found it plain boring (and I really didn’t need another social platform to spread out on!). Well, now I’m forced to be back in the twitter fold, if only to learn everything I can about it, so if you like, you can follow me here. I’d be really happy because out of the four followers I have at this moment, one is my dear friend Kathy, while the others are spammers, which I’ll eliminate before YOU even get to see them. So back to one follower…
Of course you could also follow the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz… after all, our hotel is the reason why I’m doing this in the first place, so might as well try and get a little fan-base going there!
And while you’re at it, check out Sockington the cat! A million and a half followers can’t go wrong, can they?? But seriously, Sockington’s tweets are a hoot! Please do forgive me the pun…
Disclaimer: I absolutely refuse to assume responsibility should you find yourself lost in the vast twitter world!
Out in the garden the first fresias made their appearance this week; a couple days more and there will be a riot of colours. And now even the sun came out to play… Spring’s on the way! I’m only telling you this because I’m so happy I actually noticed…
PS A post with pictures will follow soon, stay posted!
