Even the birds are tired of the rain!!!

October 14, 2006

Hi, well let me tell you about this week in Fiji, RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN and can I say it again! RAIN!!! And gray. We have booked our tickets to Tonga, we are going back for Stan’s brother’s ordination and the family reunion leaving Dec 5 and returning to Fiji Dec 16th. I will have to work at getting some color back since it is all gone because can I say it again RAIN!

The painting classes are going well, I am finding it difficult to deal with the backgrounds of the drawings can’t get my mind to deal with them, not an issue with pottery. Met a most fabulous potter from Vanuatu during the Melanesian festival, I thought that he threw his pots on a wheel and then added a decorative rim, only to find out that he coils his pots, truly amazing.

Have had a bit of a cold the last few days just a cough, and a wee bit of a headache, seems to be finishing. Currently reading The sex lives of Cannibals, very funny and I can totally relate to his experience, only his was worse. Looking forward to reading his next book Getting Stoned with the Savages. Also had my fill of dancing and gymnastic videos care of Josie who kept me in supply of movies while I was resting.

Well that’s about it for this week, more pictures to come of the finale days of the festival!

Jay
