FINALLY I HAVE A ROOM! It’s a quarter to midnight and I’ve just finished working on the mock-up for the web design assignment. I’m pretty satisfied with what I did, let’s say that for the first time I did something I’m not ashamed of showing in a portfolio. It’s a remarkable accomplishment from my point of view, given my tendency to detest all my artistic work. I’m still trying to understand whether I have artistic talent or not. While drawing comes quite easy to me, I always struggle to create artistic work that requires accuracy and attention to detail. Earlier today I went to see a room in a flat not far from where I currently live. I’ll probably rent it cause the place is just marvelous. It has a very particular structure indeed, something that I’ve never seen before. The building, which looks quite old even though extremely well preserved, consists of a quite long row of terraced houses overlooking the main street. They are made of the lovely yellow Maltese limestone bricks and gorgeous climbing plants are found all over the building. All these delicious little houses share the same front porch, creating this sort of gallery with arched openings along its entire length. I simply fell in love with this beauty. The only problem (because there is always at least one problem, right?) is that there is an Italian couple living in the flat…bloody hell! Turns out that speaking English in Malta is quite a challenge. I’m surrounded by Italians at work and now I will have them at home as well. But the place is so lovely…and God knows how difficult it is to find a decent place on this Island. I can always pretend to be from Uk and speak to them in English…they will fall for it for sure!
