Today we went up to Tamavula and had BBQ lunch with Jon and Kozue and the kids ... it was fun. Their landlord bought them a new "outdoor cooking applience" and Jon seemed to still seek its "personality".
Burgers, blackened chicken (which was not meant to be that black, but still very yummy), corn cob pieces and all kids of condiments were available to fill tummys. Yep ... summer is on its way back, but there is also the fun part to it.
seems I am having some trouble with posts showing up twice .. please bear with me while I try to fix that .. I am AWARE the situation ..

I finally managed to take a good picture of our resident St. Andrews Cross Spider, who we dubbed "Spider Girl" ... since she is in the 5 cm/2 inch category, she just has to be female .. she is pretty cool and her web is just amazing ... I even told the gardener to not touch it ... it seems that once in a while she has so rebuild the web, the wind movement makes it a bit weak. And she is reallt great at it .. and she is a beauty.

Last night we had the great experience of the private hospital in Suva. No, really, that place is great, I wish more hospitals were like that!
I picked up Ritsu from work at 5:30 and she felt really sick and I could feel that she had a fever. So we skipped our plans of going to a concert and brought her to bed instead. She kept feeling worse and after a while it dawned on us that she could have Dengue ... so around 10 PM we drove up to the private hospital, where we were met by a nice, young indo-fijian doctor, who gave Ritsu some painkillers and anit-biotics and sent us home again (we had the overnight bag packed already) ... he was fairly certain it was not Dengue ...
After her medication she felt sleepy but around 6 AM she woke up again, this time with stomach pain. We had an appoinment at 8:30 AM anyway, and the doctor again confirmed that it seems to be a bacterial infection and just sent us back home.
Fortunatelly now after having anti-biotics in her system for 24 h, she feels better, albeit weak, but I am very glad it is nothing more serious.

9 AM = 32C/90F @ 78% now that is fun ... let's see how high it will get.
Oh, want to see today's Fiji Times front page ?
Click to enlarge ... that photo is from last night's Tadra Kahani event
Yeps ... 31C/87F @81% ... it IS getting warmer ...
Tonight's highlight was a song and dance show at the Multi Purpose Hall (they are really using that thing well) called Tadra Kahani. Basically performances from schools .. quite impressive ... follow the above link for a much better description and details. (There is only one BIG mean typo on the website, MDG #4 is NOT "Reduce child morality" ... there is nothing wrong with the children's moral. It should read "child mortality" !!!!! )
The actual show was pretty good, albeit riddled with technical problems (light's went out twice, last dance number seemed to have ended up with a premix of their music, the disgarded version). But since there is not much entertainment in the musical section around here, it was a very welcome change.
