This weekend we have been enjoying each other's company. As it was St. Paul's feast, Raquel was not at school and we decided to go out. First the decision was to go to Mellieha, then we ended up in Gozo to our favourite restaurant. Later we took Raquel to see the light house. Miguel slept in the car and given that the place is not very safe for toddlers Simon stayed in the car with him. The road is steep and uphill and the edges are not guarded with a fence. After that we went to the playing field at Munxar where I met a friend I had not seen for around a year. Our children played together and had a lot of fun while I could sit and watch sometimes... until little one woke up and started running around. Unfortunately efforts to make these playing fields safe were useless as they are situated on a main road and nobody put a gate on any of the entrances of the play area. A child might just run out at any time so you have to be extra careful with toddlers. The best playing fields are those which can be closed completely like in Sliema and Naxxar. The children don't know it is dangerous so we have to take care. It is not easy as sometimes their behaviour is unpredictable.

Yesterday we spent the day cooking rabbit stew, pancakes and watching TV. I am very sorry for what is happening in Greece. The common people always have to pay for BIG mistakes which they did not commit. Poverty in Europe is a shame and that is where they are heading to... what a pity. It is a beautiful country which I must take my kids to visit when they are a bit older. I think if Zeus was real he would be throwing lightening arrows to the people in power!
