Becoming quite established here now..


Bula everyone !
After five weeks here in Fiji, we feel as though we know our way around now, without becoming too lost, in the Nadi area at least. The pattern of our week is emerging, as I teach the 3 evenings and Saturday morning. I do enjoy walking into the unit complex and smelling the yummy meals that Simon prepares for us. I am being thoroughly spoilt ! I do still have a turn to cook on some other days. We are just getting to know the oven, making one batch of cupcakes, yet to try scones. Shopping is a most intriguing experience, as we discover a wide variety of brands and foodstuffs never seen in suburban Blackburn South !
Simon played golf this week, but found the course "like a goat track " very soggy, stinking hot and rather hilly. He will return when they take delivery of golf carts from New Zealand in a week or two. Many items come from there as it is quite close.
There was a bit of panic here yesterday as they experienced an earthquake in nearby Tonga and issued a tsunami warning for Fiji as well. The school kids loved having an extra day off, especially as Monday is a public holiday here for World Youth Day.
We are especially enjoying our daily swims, even when it's raining ! Simon worries though,that his hair may go curly ! Take care !
