The Mullet is a dodgy fish

You know the mullet, right? No, not the fish, the haircut. Anyway, there's this expression about the mullet, describing the hairstyle as "Business up front, Party in the back"

And that's what I think of when I go past this building in Avarua harbour.

One building. One item in common. Two very different... facades.

Chris makes a new friend

Hanging out with Chicks

Catch-Up

I may be coming back out of my "retirement" as I have dusted off my CV and have applied for a job with one of the local newspapers. The job involves assisting with their website and creating graphics for adverts. So, please cross your fingers for me. Speaking of websites, I am helping the Cook Islands Library, where I volunteer, create their own Blog. Check it out HERE.

On the home front, Chris has just completed his diving PADI course. On his last dive they saw Eagle Rays and reef Sharks. Eeepp!

Ester Honey Foundation

There is a charity here called the Ester Honey foundation, which acts like an SPCA. (Although there is also an SPCA here too, go figure.) Outside their premises they have a sign saying ‘free puppies’ so I have to give Chris credit for not giving into temptation. But I’ve noticed every time we drive past the foundation he mutters under his breath “Free puppies”.

We went there to look around ages ago and they had a litter of about ten tiny wee puppies that were very cute. Not sure what breed. Most of the dogs here are a strange looking bunch, especially the ones with big heads and little short legs.

Sad News

For the last few days our neighbour’s Brown Puppy has been looking very forlorn as she sits alone on our deck. Where is Black Puppy we wondered? We have since learned that Black Puppy was hit and killed by a car on Friday night.

While the terrible duo’s antics won’t be forgotten it is the good times we will think on. Black Puppy curled under my chair as I read on the deck. Black Puppy bursting with excitement to be patted by Chris when he returned home from work.

So, Black Puppy, while out nights will be quieter without you howling outside our window, our days will be less entertaining and our hearts less whole. RIP little dog, we never knew your name but we always called you friend.

It’s a Small World after all
