Dear loyal reader
I would like to apologise for the lack of items posted on this site over the past few weeks (or is it months). There are a number of reasons for this but I wont bore you with too many details, rather I will concentrate on two and let you decide which is the more believable.
Reason number one. I am and always have been illusive (hence the name) and due to my connections with large underworld organisations and the British secret service I must disappear from time to time. Now I’m back from assignment and have had to wait for several gun shot wounds to heal properly before attempting to write.
Reason number two. My career has gone headfirst into the great toilet bowl of life and despite various attempts to retreave it or replace it on Malta, inevitably as with everything else in my life I cannot avoid the great rush of poop water swirling down upon my head.
I know what you’re thinking…
Although the first one seems by far the most logical and reasonable explanation for my recent absence I have to confess that it is actually reason number two. I’m pretty much screwed and being Jonny foreigner on Malta I get neither assistance (despite paying high rates of tax and social security) nor sympathy. Therefore unfortunately I have to depart these shores for other another far distant land.
They (who?) do say though that every silver lining has a cloud and of course this is true in my case. I have secured employment in Spain and will continue to blog from there. Hopefully you, my loyal reader, will continue to find my insights in to life, love and toilet humour worth reading.
This of course is the real reason for not writing. I have gone through various emotions from shock to anger, anger to depression then a brief moment of elation when realising I had a savior from unemployment then to absolute stress realising that I had only four weeks to pack up, move, get settled then start work in a new country, company and job. Then I slipped back into depression realising I would miss Malta, then elation again because at least the Spanish know how to drive and have a highway code and a logical set of traffic laws and enforcement, then depression again and finally stress. I have had to sell house, home, furniture and car (the last one still pending).
I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to the Maltese bloggers who have read and commented and please, please, please don’t be strangers. I’m still here… IllusiveFreddy lives on.
I’m only sorry I didn’t get chance for that torrid fling with Claire, although I’ve not left yet…
