Oh Fiji

So quite hot still and judging from the reports from Saskatchewan not so much there. I am sucking up as much heat as possible which given the fact that i haven't been exposed to this heat for five years is not hard. Man today I was in Suva City shopping around for the kids and I said to Ana I am done its too hot. I was a sweaty mess okay still am.

Last night I started to teach my sister Fipe how to drive a standard. I didn't realize she had never driven at all so when she started to drive I was a little surprised when the car was all over the road, hahahaha. But man after one hour she is fine. I took her to Suva City and had her drive from the city to our house. It is quite a distance so good on her. Tonight we are going to practice shifting and climbing hills. I told her by Thursday I expect her to drive herself to work. lol.

I have quite a routine here, the am's I spend having tea checking out the internet, the pm's usually head to town to walk around and the nights spending it with family either drinking grog or talking. I will miss everyone very much when I leave.

While I lived here in 2002/03 there was a little girl that lived next door, Sanni Biau (SB) and at the time she was 3 now she is 9. Her and I were quite close and when I left it was hard to say goodbye to her. When I returned in 2004/05 we again were quite close. Now when I came back she said to me that she was scared I wasn't ever going to come back. She comes over and just sits with me and we laugh and joke. Today was her first day of school in grade 4. Reiki (her mom) took her to school and she ran away to her dad's work at the wharf. Ana my best friend came over and was worried and asked that I drive to the wharf to get her. We picked up SB and she was very quite as to why she missed school. Everyone was giving her hell and of course a hiding that I am sure she won't forget. I went to her later and asked if I brought her to school and picked her up it would help. She agreed. So tomorrow I will take her to school, talk to her teacher and then pick her up. I am trying to talk to her about the importance of school but i am sure she has heard from everyone. I told her if she runs away from me, she won't forget the hiding she will get from me, lol.
