I don’t drive, so when buying things like cat toys and cat food for my princess, Kinnie, I’ve always relied on local pet shops delivering to my apartment. Cat trees, new litter boxes, or even wet food tins can be heavy and there isn’t a really well stocked pet shop anywhere in easy walking distance, so it’s so much easier to order my pet supplies online and have them delivered to my door in Malta.

Whilst not on complete lockdown here in Malta, we are advised to stay home as much as possible. I have a horrible immune system and we both want this all over with as soon as possible so Arvid and I are limiting our time in the outside world so we had to find a way to get food and groceries delivered to our home.

Whether you're on mandatory quarantine or practising social distancing as part of the #staythefuckhome movement chances are you'll need a few things to help you get through.

Well, shit got real, real fast over on this little island. The number of confirmed coronavirus (covid-19) cases varies per source, with latest stats stating over 300 cases, but other websites claiming doctors state many cases are going unreported.

This is a bit of a hard one for me to write as it means divulging a bit more personal information than I'm usually comfortable sharing and it's also actually quite embarrassing. But here goes... I got rejected for a home loan from almost every bank in Malta.

This year I spent hours reading through every single post on this blog- updating and fixing the ones worth keeping and ruthlessly deleting those I thought brought no value. One type of post I just could not get rid of was my 'new year' posts (2011, 2012). So this year, I thought I'd do another one.
