Dun Giljan is back to blogging
Dun Giljan is none other than Father Julian. That's his name in Maltese, and he is now back in Malta, ready for another chapter in his busy life........ I would have liked to continue my previous blog, which I had started in 2012, but since I am now in a different country, Blogspot does not allow me to access my account, and so, as I had anticipated, here I am starting a new blog from Malta. As you can see the address is again my name in Maltese and Dun Giljan is the name that I am called by in my home country. Yet I assure you that all my entries will be in English, and other than my name, you will not have to be worried about anything undecipherable in Maltese. As I try to settle down, I may not be able to post an entry every single day, but once I get going, I am sure you will see something every day. And since Malta is 9 hours ahead of Oregon and 6 hours ahead of New York, when you all wake up, you will find a post ready to read, to reflect on, and to digest throughout the day. I am sure many photos will follow, but bear with me as I familiarize myself with my new computer and get adjusted to the new internet and WiFi connections. The jet-lag has started to wear off, the temperatures are still fairly comfortable and and I am slowly getting back to normal life in Malta. However it is like 'back to the future' for me as I am trying to re-live and re-establish connections with the past, which for me is 35 years ago, precisely before 1981. So stay tuned...much more to come on this new blog.
Yay! Dun Giljan!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful that we can still communicate. I am excited to see pictures when you're able. I'll bet it has changed a lot since the last time I was there in 1990. We all love and miss you. So thankful for all the ways we can communicate. Did you receive my email last week? Patty
