Tom, whose grammar may be a result of growing up “in the hood” is actually an excellent proofreader. After it’s online Tom also proofreads it, often finding errors I missed after which I immediately return to the editing page to make the corrections.Īnother house in the area, down the hill from us. Our post may not be editorially perfect by any means, but, we do make the effort. Most days, it takes the entire morning to write, edit, and upload photos. Not one to sit and stare at the computer I can’t otherwise use, I find other ways to make use of the time. Once I start a post I usually stick with it until it’s online except for the time the photos take to load during which I usually chop and dice for the evening’s meal. Here in Fiji, with the slow wifi, we’re limited on how many photos will upload without taking hours. I’ll admit from time to time I have no choice but to wander about the yard looking for new photo ops to post over the next days if for whatever reason we haven’t been able to go anywhere of significance.įlowers are blooming with this excessive amount of rain.

Tiny purple flowers with a tiny bee on the flower on the left.Īt times, our photos may appear to be repeated, but we do not post repeats unless we mention in the caption they’ve been previously posted. It’s an indescribable pleasure.įortunately, we’ve gone out during short dry periods able to take the many photos we’ve shared to date with still a stash in “inventory.” Our goal is to have no less than five or six days of yet un-posted photos on hand in the event of inclement weather.

I, on the other hand, prefer to be out exploring and taking photos.

If we hardly ever went out and about, he’d be content. This way I wouldn’t have this daily dish towel issue. I longingly think of those stand-up racks we’ve used in various countries throughout the world where we did our own wash, hanging the clothes to dry. I saw a clothesline in an obscure location on this five-acre property. Shalote will take the soaked towels along with our dirty laundry to the mysterious washer and dryer she and Usi use to do the laundry. When necessary, I place the dirty towels in a bag in the freezer overnight. We can’t throw them into the laundry when they’d be covered in ants by morning. These dish towels have been hanging outside for days unable to dry with the constant rain.
My dish towels have been hanging outside on the ropes of the railing for days, partially drying during short dry periods and then becoming soaked a short time later. There’s not a single spot indoors to hang them. As of today, we’ve been in Savusavu for 15 days and its rained for 13 days. Most attractions around the park in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge reopened late last month while Dollywood - the tourism hub's crown jewel - will begin welcoming guests back next week.With our lifestyle geared toward making events less stressful when its within our control keeps us at “home” on rainy days.
