Moreover, the streets of Valletta haven’t been washed since March it seems. Grime and filth all over the place, in fact, there are whole patches of Merchant, Republic, and the new square just covered in dirt. Another cost cutting exercise, thanks to Leo Brincat/Joe Mizzi? Such a Shame.

With hundreds of foreign visitors to these gardens I hope they can clean it soon.

[Daphne – Why foreign visitors, particularly? What about the Maltese visitors? Is a dirty fountain good enough for them? Don’t distinguish between ‘foreign’ and ‘Maltese’.]

Well said.

We read here about the exhumation of “L-imniehru” and we also got to know why the boxing match on the Floriana Granaries was cancelled at the eleventh hour.

Today all these TV stations “woke up to smell the coffee”.

Obviously, Daphne pushed them (forward).
