..............................The boys and the local i-kiribati kids of the police compound..............................
The weekend was a quiet one, a bit of gardening but the weather mostly widy, wild and wet. Looking forward to a rain guage so I can record what we get. Been great for the vegie patch as little need to water as it is getting a good daily soaking
The squash is growing rapidly, so is the corn, zuchinni and tomartoes!!! Very, very exciting!!
My partner in the vegie patch "James" is our gardener and happy to do any job we ask of him!! Here James is cutting back the scraggly bushes around the vegie patch which is right next to our front gate.
Having Meei arrive an hour earlier means I am getting my gym time so I am back into a daily walk on the treadmill and cutting down my grog (after a deliciously wicked weekend of too much wine on my balcony bar!!!)
Meei plaited me a garland of flowers yesterday whilst I was at the gym and she was watching the boys down at the boat, it was amazing to watch it grow under her deft hands and I want to learn.
Sam and Meei plying and weaving in the 'boat' (well it was previous MSA's sail boat but much more suited to childrens play thing! I believe the first time it sailed it flipped and hasn't been sailed since!)
.........................................wearing the garland that Meei made for me!!.................................................
Played tennis yesterday and had a good hit, got ditracted by an i-kiribati man shimmying up a coconute palm out the front gate to retrieve his 'toddy' bottles. They cut into the palm to bleed out the sap (bit like rubber I guess) and the sap is made into toddy which can be quite alcoholic or made into a rich and sweet syrup to have as a dessert. I think this guy was after the first!!!!
Was hoping for tennis this arvo but it is wet and windy, no good for tennis balls with a wet court, might go and make the boys some bikkies for afternoon tea
