MMMMMM -Fiji!!! sorry for all the troubles prior to your departure, but the thought of the bronzed god serving cocktails adds much sweetness to the deal! lol
yes, dear Bloggers it is all true, my poor overworked and over stressed daughter finally got to Fiji, she swam daily to the BAR! for magical cocktails.
I looked after her house, my house, her cat, my cats, two Korean homestay children, cleaned windows, gardened, washed, ironed, made school lunches etc
BUT!!! it was so good being able to be here, and this is what it is
all about, moving closer to the family, so I could be USEFUL.
No, I am not tired, just a tad shattered!
