Thunder clouds behind Honiara

Another day, sunshine and busy for a while. We’re almost up to planting stage with Rove Prison. The truck load of soil Wilson got this morning was barely enough for half the garden area, but never mind, another load tomorrow.
It’s going to look fairly good when we get it finished, green duranta with gardenias in the front, duranta border with hibiscus for the side gardens and a palm at each end. In the words of Stupid Bloody Johnson, it may look a mess now, but just you come back in 500 years.
I spent another frustrating afternoon trying to get internet pages to open. I want to contact Carann Agencies in New Zealand and get prices for good planter bags for the nursery. After nearly 2 hours I finally go the home page for them to open, then the power went off for an hour, so it was start over again and finally giving up at 5pm,
I’ve managed to send 6 photos to VSA so far this week, ok, I know they are huge images, 4.5 MB, but they take an hour to load, then email times out just before they load fully, next time VSA want pictures I’ll send them on a thumbdrive so long as I get it back by return post. 1GB thumbdrive here is $800, 4GB are over $1200.
We’re having a lot of lightning and thunder storms the last couple of days. No rain, just the crackle and flash of lightning followed by the multiple car crash sound of thunder. It’s very impressive to be looking at a blue sky and over the hills behind Honiara are black cumulous clouds rolling and crackling with lightning.
The weather for the weekend is looking good, I’d like 4 days of calm on Savo, both to collect orchids, and also for the fishing.
