A mixed bag of activities

With Master Paul and the rest of the visitors due in a couple of weeks for gradings it was time for our yearly clean-up around the Judo hall. This was a whole day event with people dropping in when they could. We decided to continue on with the clean up Tonga theme at the kids aquathon and collected rubbish from around the American wharf, mainly broken beer bottles though.

It's not a slum, our hall is the one on the right but most of the rubbish comes from the buildings on the left. So after some "Bob the Builder" action (on the main doors) to keep the local kids out we should be all good until the next cyclone rips the doors off again.

No need for a mower when you have 9 &10 year old kids with bush knives!

Ruha, Fasi and Em getting some lunch ready. Like the can opener?

While we were working, Jodie escaped us Saturday night for Bobbett's Hens night.

We've had a few new additions to the garden, Sweet corn and snow peas.

It's been such a crazy week of weather with the usual sun then nearly 100mm of rain and on a Hash night too.

Numbers were down but the true Hasher's made the best of what cover was available.

With a few partners away from the Island and some wives off on a girls weekend, we hosted a singles BBQ. Lyndon perfecting his BBQ technique, also remembering hydration is so very important.

Some of our singles crowd just hanging out at the table!

Mal even brought the farm over. Pebbles, the pig is becoming very friendly and goes everywhere with Jock and Milly, the dogs.
