    She's great isn't she, she makes you laugh and cry all at once. I love her dearly as I guess you do. Sorry for some reason the great IT world just won't let me add you as one of the blogs I follow. But I just got overjoyed at your living room and so much wanted to have your blog on my list but it won't work with me. The horses are excellent and one of my favourite all time blogs is when they are saying goodbye to the library. Thanks for your support, I will try harder in future. Julie

Aqua Plain

The Cane Fields are Flooding. The beach is eroding. The She-oaks roots are exposed. The little fellas' hair has been tamed by a blue-haired lady in a funky jump-suit. The limitations of wet weather were overcome when Grandpa's old toolbox was discovered. The magical contents of Grandpa's toolbox have been put on display inside the house, a new toolbox dedicated to Grandpa and all the making men in the family. The flood waters closed all roads to school, prompting an excursion to a big kids place of learning.  Where the locals were  friendly and inquisitive. Thank goodness for paper, scissors, elastic and staples - real life savers over another wet weekend. The roads cleared and the wind has blown the rain away for now, but what of the cyclone off the coast?

Evil Evan

A Quick Post while I have internet access.   We are safe and now living without power or running water.     Cyclone Evan was frightening and terrorised Samoa for 24 hours, it reached category 3 at 3am, then hovered off the coast threatening to return as a category 4.   We bailed out our house for hours trying to keep the last two rooms dry, one for sleeping the other for storage.  At 12pm we set up a cyclone shelter in a bathroom, with matress, passports, food, water, medicine and bag with change of clothes.       We lost a small part of the carport roof and along with the rest of Samoa prayed that the roof of the house would hold and it did.       The boy's cubby was destroyed.   For many Samoans the cyclone was 100 times worse and continues to make life difficult.  Our friend BRoss down at Salamumu lost his house and accommodation fales, but he and ...

Going Viral

Image
Sometimes living in Samoa is like living inside a large petri dish of disease. Over the past two years we have experienced a range of viruses and the like, if we were living in Australia DOCs would be becoming suspicious!   Recently Smiley was stung by a nasty orange wasp, these big fellas agressively defend their nests in October and on our first year here one attacked Bunny, chasing him into the house and stinging him five times.  The welts are nasty and Bunny still has some scars. The next day Smiley came to show us his red shoulder and I observed some other small r ed spots on his torso. His mate at school had just been diagnosed with Chicken Pox although he had been immunised in Australia.  Smiley has also been immunised but these Samoan viruses are strong and Smiley ended up with some red spots sans blisters, fever and pain.  Little did he know he got off lightly. Bunny happily ended up having three days off with Smiley, with a mere th...
