Parties all the weekend

from w
Yesterday our Fiji Friendship Club families had a barbecue and kava at lunchtime, then another party in the evening was at our home with guests from Melbourne, then today we hired a minibus for the nine of us and drove to a very beautiful area of Victoria called Greendale (where they made that film about the pig and the spider 'Charlotte's Web'). Tonight the gang are watching All Blacks playing France and the kava is flowing again. The party at Greendale was particularly lovely with a kind of family reunion - several generations of my side of the family, good food and conversation and fun in the dam for kids and some adults - boats and a flying fox.
