Meet Maisy, my current foster girl.

Maisy was abandoned and found living on the streets. Before she was rescued, someone spent more than two weeks patiently feeding her, and even then, this was about as close as she would allow a person to get before she was finally trapped and brought to safety.
When she first came into foster, she was very nervous around people. But underneath all that fear, she clearly wanted company and affection.

Slowly, Maisy started changing.

She began coming out to look for me instead of waiting for me to approach her. She meows when she wants company, follows me around, climbs onto higher places just to be closer to me, and now she’ll even relax in my arms and purr. ❤️

She’s also turned out to be a hilarious little character — she loves jumping around, can somehow move her little bed across the room all by herself, and definitely has opinions about being left alone. 😂

Seeing the old video of her outside compared with the cat now curled up against me feels very special. She trusted humans once and was let down, but she’s choosing to trust again.

I’m travelling to Italy soon, so my time fostering icoming to an end. Maisy is now looking for her next safe place — hopefully her forever home.

She may need a little patience at first, but once she feels safe, she’s a sweet, social little girl who really enjoys human company.

If you’re interested in adopting Maisy, please contact CLaws through their Facebook page. ❤️
She’s already learned to trust again. Now she just needs someone to choose her.

Made completely using AI, the creators keep defending it by saying it's too expensive to make by humans, even though I know many people who would have loved to help make a Maltese superhero movie for little to nothing. They now pretend that its high Maltese cinema up there with the works of Alex Camilleri. I wanna show them that if you try and make such a mockery of Maltese culture you're not gonna get a positive reception.

Inkella kif ħa nimlew l-appartamenti li bnejna ħiiii

Hawn xi ħadd li għandu esperjenza ta' ordni ta' kotba online minn għand Agenda fejn il-kotba kienu disponibbli mill-pubblikatur fil-UK u mhux dirett minn Malta? Ghaliex f'Awwissu għamilt ordni fejn dan kien il-każ u jgħidlek li dawn il-kotba ghandek bejn ħmistax u xahar sabiex jaslu però kważi għaddew xahrejn u għadhom ma waslux. Diġà bgħattilhom email u qaluli li kif jaslu Malta jintbagħtu mingħajr spjegazzjoni ta' xejn rigward għalfejn qed idumu daqshekk. Xahrejn qed narhom wisq biex jintbagħtu kotba mill-UK.

Genuinely curious. I see many powerful cars stuck in traffic, and it made me wonder, with what logic does one buy a high performance car for our traffic clogged streets. Which in turn made me wonder, what is the best car to drive for our Maltese roads? Also, ICE, Electric, or Hybrid?

If I had to start, I would go for the Toyota Yaris/Vitz Hybrid.

Hi everyone,

​I'm looking for a reliable place to board my two dogs for a few nights. I want a place that takes good care of them but isn't excessively expensive.

​So far, the only decent place I've found charges around €55 a day for the two of them, which is a bit steep for my budget. Does anyone know of any better or more affordable alternatives? Location doesn't matter, anywhere in Malta is fine!

​Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

​I would like to speak to the people of Malta about a situation that happened to me on a random Sunday morning at 10 AM. Out of nowhere, I started receiving sexually explicit and unwanted messages from a man I had only spoken to twice in my life and was never close with. He reached out by replying to my Instagram story and kept contacting me until I blocked him.

​Two years ago, I moved away from Malta. This man and I had only spoken a few times in person and were never close. Out of nowhere, he reached out by replying to my Instagram story and began sending me sexually explicit, unwanted messages. He continued contacting me until I blocked him.

​I saved and recorded the messages to preserve evidence in case he tried to unsend or delete them.

​What makes this situation particularly disturbing is that he comes from a wealthy family with a good reputation, yet had zero hesitation in sending these messages. It makes me question whether he genuinely believes his family's wealth and social standing make him immune to consequences.

​To make matters worse, some of my male friends made fun of the situation instead of taking it seriously. Unwanted sexual messages and persistent harassment are not something to laugh about.

​Since we share mutual friends, I am thinking of sharing screenshots of the messages, but I don't know if I should include his name in them. My intention in speaking out is simply to share my experience, not to encourage harassment against anyone.

After this week, it is clear that the PA is in the pockets of developers and business men.

We MUST organize ourselves.
Complaining in the comment section isn’t enough.

We must actually start damaging their reputation and hurt them where it hurts the most. Their pockets.

What is your say?

Hi,

I‘ve recently asked you guys what the best pizza in all of Malta is and thought I would give a quick update for people that are still unsure/ visiting.

After a full day of exploring we went to Salumeria Gardens yesterday because Google said it‘s open until 01:00am. We went shortly after 11:00pm and it was already fully closed sadlyso we went back to the hotel.

Today we wanted to see St. Paul‘s Bay and hoped to eat at Made in Sud. And I am SO glad we did.

The staff was very very friendly and welcoming. The appetizer was fresh and a huge portion (would‘ve been almost enough by itself😂)

But the Pizza? I have never in my life eaten a better Pizza. Not even in Italy. It was piping hot, made with fresh and high quality ingredients which they don‘t just take out of cans (they have everything in a fridge which they cut up by themselves as you see in the photo). And even though I can not stand buffalo mozzarella, I tried a slice from my father and absolutely loved it.

Then we had the homemade Tiramisu which I will be thinking of for a while. Perfectly balanced and a great finish.

Despite many reviews the place was very clean, there wasn‘t a single cockroach or anything of the sort and the staff was very attentive checking on us every few minutes.

They even offered us a free bottle of Aperitivo on our way out which we politely declined as we don‘t drink.

Amazing amazing place which I will be thinking of every time I order a disgusting, soggy and fatty pizza back in Germany😂

That being said. Thank you all so much for the recommendations and the hospitality and friendliness we have received so far in Malta.

Disclaimer: It may sound like it but this is not an ad😂 I just love Pizza and almost never have a chance to catch a good spot.

Owning a property in Malta in 2026 feels increasingly impossible. It’s not just the purchase price, but also taxes, notarial fees, finishing costs, and all the expenses that come with it.

People are frustrated, stressed, and worried about their future. How can younger generations afford a home, let alone start a family? And then we wonder why Malta’s birth rate is declining.

When will the government take this seriously?

Genuine question: What can I, as one individual, realistically do to help change this situation? Because right now, it feels impossible to make a difference alone.

Are there some techno clubs or parties around Paceville or anywhere during this weekend? Feel free to dm aswell. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm an independent developer based in Gozo, and I've been developing an Android app called BizNii for Odoo.

I originally built it for my own business because I wanted a better way to use Odoo on my phone.

It now includes customers, quotations, invoices, tasks, calendar, inventory, discussions, offline functionality and Android widgets.

It's currently working well with my Odoo 19 Community installation, and I'm preparing it for Google Play.

I'm curious:

Is anyone here using Odoo Community or Enterprise in their business?

Which Odoo version are you running?

Would you be interested in testing an alternative Android app for Odoo?

I'm looking for some genuine feedback from local Odoo users before releasing it publicly.

Thanks!

Creating this thread as I haven't seen a comprehensive, recent post about kitchens here.

_____________

My wife and I are looking to gut our kitchen and get a new one instead of it.

We're not interested in getting the cheapest possible kitchen and saving the most money we possibly can. We're most interested in good value, durable, high bang-for-buck options from reliable, reputable, and responsive suppliers with excellent customer service.

Broadly speaking, the way I see it, our options realistically are:

1. Local big suppliers
   
2. Local smaller carpenters
   

3. Sicily
   ______________

4. Local Suppliers - Looking at each one's website, and asking around for recommendations doesn't really help much as all the stock photos and styles look very similar, there is the same praise and criticism for each company as every other, and you don't find the same type of review for kitchens as you do with, say, consumer electronics.

Some places currently on my radar include:
- Carmelo Delia
- Form
- Dari
- Casa Moderna
- One Percent

1. Local smaller carpenters - we've worked with some before on other furniture in our home. Not something we're considering for our kitchen this time round. We think it'll cost more, take longer to get delivered, and be of similar enough quality assuming we go with similar materials.

2. Sicily - This is where I have the most questions. I often hear or read about people saying "Just go to Sicily for your kitchen" but without any specific points of contact or other pertinent details. The nuts and bolts of this option elude me.

____________

TL;DR - Questions:

1. Which local suppliers do you have recent experience with and would recommend or avoid, and why?

2. Any specific kitchen furniture brands you would recommend or avoid? (e.g. LUBE, Scavolini, IKEA, etc etc).

3. If you have experience getting a kitchen from Sicily recently, how would you advise us to go about it, where did you go, and how much money did you save vs something comparable locally, even after accounting for the trips abroad and the overseas delivery? Was it an absolute no-brainer? What about a lack of local aftersales service? And the language barrier (we speak no Italian)?

4. What's a reasonable middle-of-the-road budget one can expect to spend on a fully equipped kitchen nowadays, complete with counter tops and appliances (double fridge-freezer, dishwasher, hob, extractor, oven/MW, sink)?

5. What's the typical timeframe between deposit and delivery? Are they all more or less the same, and is there any difference between Malta and Sicily?

__________

Thanks a lot!

I bought an apartment and signed the POS a few months ago, upon which I paid the 10% deposit and 1% tax.

I should be signing the deed in around January/February once the property is in shell form - I just wanted to check what else is left to be paid aside from the notary fees? There have been plenty of hidden costs along the way and I don’t want to get a surprise in a few months time 🥲

Trying to sell my PS5 slim edition. But I don't know what's a fair price to list it at, I got a PC so I don't need it anymore. I was thinking 280-300. What do you guys think? Is this fair?
