Thanks for the info. Hope I can make it to Mqabba this year for Saint Mary's because In the last 2 years I could not make it to see the eave of feast of Saint Mary. my father in Law (il-Kunjatu) has his Birthday on the 15th August and they have a tradition in the family to take him out to a restorant on the 14th and stay till late to start the 15th with him. So you have to imagine me sitting down in a restorant hearing all those fireworks bangs from many places and I cant watch....

Will see what happens this year. ]:) Maybe I should call him at home and pretend to be his boss and ask him to come to work on the 14th for a night shift :+

Hi August15,

I guess you're all really counting down loudly these days.

I've been in doubt for quite a while. Should I go to Malta again in August or perhaps visit Spain or Japan? Finally decided to stay home. However, I hope that won't ruin your fun. ;-) Enjoy!!!
