This is me being me, with photos of life on a very small island. It's taken a while, but I've finally found time to stand and stare. For cats, please visit @thecatisbusy.bsky.social

Here there used to be a little two-storey house, built of limestone in the traditional style, with a side and back garden with citrus trees where local cats used to spend time. Soon there will be yet another concrete edifice 🥴 #TheGozoDaily #gozolife #toomuchconcrete

Having just been through the desert carrying a guy with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain.

I'm fascinated with medieval world, but I'm lazy and wouldn't like to live in the world without washing machines 😀

Happy #adoorableThursday to all! I spotted this lovely door with its matching geraniums in the village last week. #TheGozoDaily #gozolife

Thursday silliness 🙂

#TerracottaTuesday🏺 Pomegranates are a big recurring theme in C4-C2 BC Messapian chambered tombs in frescos + terracotta: here mixed w a few apples. Symbolic of fertility + descent of Persephone to underworld. In Nat Archaeo Museum Egnazia: exceptional site in Puglia, Bronze Age to Medieval period.

My life as a reader will not be complete until I get hold of one of these 18th Century book wheels, designed to allow a person to keep seven books open at once.

My favourite pjazza with its fountain and statues which commemorate the appearance here of a heavenly apparition to a local shepherd in the 18th century. #TheGozoDaily #gozolife #history

A fascinating relic of a bygone age - a public scale, where you could go and weigh yourself, apart from on Saturdays, for some reason. In Ujazdowski Park, Warsaw. It says it’s from 1912. Unfortunately closed now.

#SheepOfThe - hang on a minute...

Beautiful bougainvillea in the village. #TheGozoDaily #gozolife #bougainvillea

Uh oh, unexpected item in the chicken area.

Just a reminder of what used to be... #TheGozoDaily #gozolife #limestone

#adoorable on any day of the week. Dare to be different 😊 Happy Sunday to all. #TheGozoDaily #gozolife

Saturday silliness 😊

I like this road with its fields, and the sea in the distance. #TheGozoDaily #gozolife #mediterranean

Non-spaghetti drying on the balcony 😀

No, that not a big pot of spaghetti. Just me washing some yarn 😀🧶

These olive jars have witnessed the passing of many seasons. #TheGozoDaily #gozolife #mediterranean

We all love an old kitchen, especially with a bread oven. This was where Thomas Hardy’s family cooked and ate their meals, using furze (gorse) as fuel top-up and kindling. They sometimes earned extra money by furze-cutting; this was a thing of shame for Eustacia Vye in Return of the Native.

Sheep ❤️

Honey has decided she wants to be a private detective and she’s practicing her disguises, so if you see her walking around with a little grain mustache like this just pretend you don’t recognize her. 👍🏻

Prestwick Airport's pushback tractor. Isn't she a beauty?

Huge thunderstorm this morning which tripped our RCD/salvavita. All back on now, and kettle boiled for tea, hurray! #TheGozoDaily #gozolife #thunderstorm
