Happy Anniversary

Chris and I have been busy entertaining visiting friends and family for the past month, but I am back online now. Here we are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary at Tamarind House restaurant - conveniently located next door to us.
& no need for the curling tongs on Raro, the 80% humidity makes my hair curly all day long.

What's Wrong with this Picture?

I wondered why I kept getting shocks of the DVD player and the computer...

Cool Again

I thought working for 7 hours in 30 degrees was hot, but last week peaked at a staggering 34 degrees. (Inside where I work, I mean, not just outside in the sun). I think I only managed to survive the entire day as it happened to be pay day. (Old fashioned pay packets here, folks).

But the searing heat is in the past. The aircon was fixed this week, praise be. Work is now a mild, I might even say, chilly, 24 degrees. Long may it continue.

One Drama over while another Saga continues

Well the ship on the reef has been rescued * Huzzah * How? A temporary gravel road was built out into the lagoon, then the ship was craned onto a big truck and towed away. OK, my construction jargon is a little fuzzy on the details, what am I? A dude?

More important to me is the air con won't be fixed for at least a week as they have to "send away for parts". Yeah, they all say that. That's jargon for "Stop phoning me! I can't fix it. You're annoying. I want you to suffer in the heat! Hot HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" well, maybe not.

It was 30.8 degrees at work yesterday I was so HOT - and I had even brought my own fan! And my thermometer, that's how I knew the temperature. What am I, a nerd?

...Well... yes.

News Flash

Last night another ship was stranded on the reef - barely 300 metres from the other one, and as misfortune would have it, owned by the same guy. Despite the crew's valiant efforts today at high tide they were unable to get her off the rocks.
