With some of our coldest days on record, the Eslers decided to have a fire in the back yard to roast marsh mellows but the main problem was there were no marsh mellows in Tonga... so Jodie did some goggeling and whipped a homemade batch for everyone to share. Yummo! Everyone reckoned they tasted just like the real thing.

Finally after 2 and a half years the road past our place is being replaced. China Aid is funding the program to put drainage in all across the city. With no notice though, a digger just turned up and started ripping the road up.
A couple of days later they had the drain all cemented in and were ready to lay the top blocks. No mucking around with these boys.
Next we lost our beloved Mango tree from the middle of the road. Now where will the Tongan's park to eat their BBQ packs at lunch?
Dyl was in need of another hair cut so we headed to our favourite little hairdresser, Sheina. She only speaks Chinese and very little Tongan so we just sit down and ask for Kosi Ulu and she decides the rest. This single room also doubles up as her house.
After two delays the fishing comp for July finally went ahead. Lyndon took out Dyl and his mate Stefan for the arvo. This greedy little fella took a lure nearly the same size as him. Dyl was all smiles as this was the first fish of the day.
Double trouble pulling in the lines on the back of the boat inside Fafa reef. Due to bad weather we hung inside the main reef.
Stefan picked up this good size wolf herring.
Eva was chief cook for the BBQ and she did a ripper of a job.
From all the boats in the comp BLAH BLAH was the only one to catch anything and as it was an open comp the boys cleaned up. Stefan was stoked as he won best Jr best overall and BLAH BLAH cleans up again. Not every comp in Tonga ends up with monster catches - some days at the office are very hard.
