Sunday and the very first rain shower - we were still in bed at the time so no problem.
We visited the local (really, just a few hundred yards from the hotel) Scottish/Methodist Church for their 10.30 service, and were amused in the announcements to hear an appeal for help with moving furniture and cleaning the manse. Just what our church had been up to before we left home. They are due a new minister on Feb 20th, so are fairly excited, being the only church of their type on the island can make them feel isolated, especially with the staunch catholic nature of the community.
Over lunch in an open air restaurant we were regaled with a detailed report of the football from last night - apparently Valletta were nearly robbed of the match, but came through in the penalties 4-1.
The statues lining the streets are still wrapped up, apart from the one I photoed which is resting on two huge sawing horse type devices in the street. We assume it is heading somewhere, but has not yet arrived!
Tomorrow we are going to the Hypogeum in Ħal-Saflieni,is a subterranean structure excavated c. 2500 B.C., probably our last major outing.
