Spent a quiet weekend around the house, Kukum Market on Sunday morning, everything is slowly coming down in price, not by a lot, but maybe a $1 or two for different things. Bananas seem to fluctuate more than anything, they were $10 a hand last week, this week its between $7 and $15 depending on which seller and which type of banana. I’ve got a liking for the small fat type now, rather than the Cavendish type, and also the red ones. Pineapples are reasonable now, $15 to $25 depending on size, pawpaw are still $3 to $10 on size.
Friday was a bit of a disaster. The cheque we’ve been waiting for still hadn’t come through, and the crews pay was looking like a non-event. I ended up withdrawing the pay from my account, luckily I live a frugal lifestyle and had enough to cover it all. Hopefully I’ll get it back when we finally get the cheque from the Ministry of Infrastructure next week.
It rained heavily on Friday afternoon, which made for a quiet day at the gardens, no teenagers having a party for once. Plus it cleared out the algae from the river bed but I can see it growing back over the next few months till the wet season starts in November.
I’m waiting to see if the article gets into the Solomon Star tomorrow, and then what reaction we get from it. I rewrote it a little bit more, added a few more paragraphs, changed a few things around so it made more sense.
I’ve got up to #26 in Tantrix, and stuck again. It is probably staring me in the face, but at the moment I cant see the pattern or shapes I need to alter. The loop was easy enough, just getting the other 3 colours to match is harder.
