Costly lunch…

With taking Friday off from work with the idea of playing a poker tournament, there was plenty of time to kill during the earlier parts of the day.

Me, Totti and Johan decided to go down to Marsaxlokk for lunch, so we called Ecabs (one of the cab companies on the island that due not charge you half a liver for a ride).

We called them at 12 and booked the cab for 12.45.

At 12.45 we went down to Preluna Hotel (where we requested the pick up from) and once the clock had passed 13.00, Totti was so upset and angry with Ecabs repetitive service of NEVER being on time and he called them and yelled at them to cancel the cab.

We went back up to the flat  and even though we had a water delivery arriving to the flat between 15-18, we decided to try another company.

HiCabs was called and after another 40 minutes wait, we were finally on our way for some food.

Well down at Marsaxlokk we went to the restaurant Tartarun and decided to try the lobster pasta, so when the waiter says ”I am sorry but we do not have any of the lobster for the pasta”, our hearts sunk and we felt this was going SHIT.

He continued, ”Normally we have lobster from Canada in the pasta, but what we could do, is to take a fresh lobster from the tank and wheigh it up and then take it for the pasta, if that is ok, then I will wheigh it up and let you know how much it will be”.
We decided to go for this and even after he informed us that the price would be €139 euros for the pasta, instead of €20, was a bit of a shock, we stuck to our decision and ordered.

The pasta was tasteful and I will surely come back there again.

After this we went out and ordered a taxi to pick us up, and in the meantime I went to buy some icecream from the most disgusting fucking truck ever, with wasps and flies all over it.

I ended up throwing the ice cream away…

We then went to Costa Cafe and waited for the taxi there, and at that point I realized that I had lost my wallet…

Seeing as there were not many places it could be, I backtracked a bit but of course it was nowhere to be found, and my guess is that the cunty fucking kid from the ice cream truck found it and took it.

Losing some money is something that is not the end of the world, but losing drivers license, Maltese ID card, VISA, that stuff is a real bummer, and then dealing with getting new copies.

Anyway, everything is blocked and reported and now I only need to go to Floriana and get the new ID card, then go to Sweden and get the new drivers license….

On Monday I will step on the scale and then over the week I will TRY and stay away from sugar and pasta and see if only 1 week will do any kind of difference on the kilograms.
