Heading towards Christmas




Howard and Jill left today heading to the Sunshine Coast for the rest of their holiday. Was nice to be able to introduce them to our life here, so they have a better appreciation of what life in Honiara is like - the highs and lows.
The kids enjoyed the attention and fun of having grandparents around.

Now the count down is on for the end of school in 2 1/2 weeks and then Christmas and a holiday in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Most of the staff at IRD starte heading off for 6 ++ weeks leave from early December so things grind to a standstill. There is very little evidence of Christmas here though - the commercialisation of Christmas just doesnt exist. Not sure if I am looking forward to doing ALL my Christmas shopping on the 2 days I have in Brisbane before Christmas !!!!
