no, this is not a local gozitan delicacy, this is me. Roasted.
having said that, i am enjoying myself, i am sitting by the pool of the resort where i work, there aren't many people around, there is a breeze today.... but it's only july, august is yet to come...
if anyone is thinking of visiting Gozo, do it later, october sounds perfect, july is hot.
and it's relatively busy too.. although being on the far west of the island we are furthest away from the ferry, so day trippers rarely venture this far... although it'sonly 8 miles long...
so today is the last day of the first retreat here, it went well, i cooked up some lovely dishes with lots of yummy local vegetables! i'm yet to try the rabbit, which is a local delicacy...
this morning was aubergine and rocket omelette, delicious, even if i do say so myself..
with a red cabbage and sweetcorn salad...
the fruit here is delicious too, oranges especially..
mr saucy squirrel bought himself a straw hat yesterday, he looks very much the man from del monte...
he bought it (it's easier in third person...) to go on a kayaking trip, where we paddled about 6 km, over to comino (between malta and gozo) and visited the very busy blue lagoon, then went round the corner and found it as beautiful, yet no-one there...
mr saucy squirrel has rekindled his fire to buy a yacht (boat) he likes the look of the lifestyle...
as for the aquatic world of rodents, he is swimming well under water, chased some fish yesterday, not sure whether anyone has ever taught him how to use fins.... do you use your ankles or your calves or your thighs???
anyway with a pair of fins on mr saucy squirrel is flying through the sub aquatic world like a sting ray on heat, gliding up gulleys, veeriong down valleys, and generally get to grips with all things aqua....
the local cheese is lovely, a fresh sheep's cheese, and i'm looking forward to trying their local bacon..
next stop for mr squirrel is mrs jemimah pine marten, who is coming to visit him very very soon...
got lent a car yesterday for a little while, next episode, mr saucy squirrel gets motoring, really motoring...
