Fireworks in Malta

                            I’ve Got the Power!

Remember how I told you how much I hate those loud petards (bombs) in Malta during the festival season?  Well, I’ve been cursing them now for months (and so has at least one blog commentator), along with many Maltese people and tourists who swear they won’t return to Malta because of those bombs.

And guess what?  This weekend a barge full of those stupid things blew up—and then sank!  See? Cursing does pay.

So many people are thrilled that the thing went down.

In fact, I set Mr. S. off immediately on an assignment to find out what happened. Stay tuned for an exclusive by Mr. S. on the barge that sank.

Hi Katie, Mary and Dee, thanks for your comments. I've heard a lot less--let's put it that way. I heard some in the distance yesterday, but it wasn't as loud as if it was coming from here. It's the kind of thing that if you don't hear it, you don't think about it. But as soon as you hear it, it drives you crazy!!---Ilene

Are there no more?

That was quite something. Saw a video of the explosion! Look forward to hearing what Mr.S finds out.

I think we are going to be there for the St Francis of Assisi festa, the first weekend in October - fabulous, I get to jump each time something explodes!
