Flatmate Mike Hawke returns to Sutherland House for a visit.

Some great singing, and laughter came from the library today, as Mike shared the Easter message

and helped Gloria with today's lessons.

Gloria still has a paint brush in her hand

and she painted the kitchen cupboards

Telly with a smile on his face as he prepares to

dig the septic tank at Epule duplex's

The men are measuring the septic tank hole 

to the size they need to dig

its been raining so I hope the ground is soft

yea right - its coral rock

Gloria cooked a fab meal tonight.

Mike arrived from NZ today

We were able to get green coconuts today to drink

We stopped at the small Emua wharf

We had someone break into Twin Cain's last nights

We paid for this duplex to have it shutters fitted 

I believe the builder is coming back tomorrow to fit them!!!
