Fiu

It's been a while since I've dedicated some time to the blog, and while nothing really major has happened, I still feel like I need to write up something. I'm feeling a bit lost, because my camera is having some mechanical issues at the moment, and as there's no camera repair shop here on Rurutu, I'm not quite sure what to do, I'm getting towards the conclusion that I should buy another one, whilst waiting to send this one away to be fixed.....in the meantime no pictures for the blog, and as if on cue Heimana is doing all kinds of new and exciting things (I'll blog more about that soon). Frankly, I'm not sure where all the time has been going, we've just been busy with everyday kind of things. Having young kids and a guesthouse feels a lot like Alice and the Red Queen (running to keep in the same place), there's always so much more housework to be done! Whatsmore, most of it is the kind of mundane busywork I'm really not that fussed with, except that we run a guesthouse! Add to that the kids being sick, poor Mato and Heimana are getting over hacking coughs, and Mum's trying to recover from the associated sleep-deprivation! It's no wonder I'm feeling a little bit fiu (a great Tahitian word that kind of covers the spectrum of slightly fed up to full blown depression) at the moment. What I wouldn't give for a few hours of quiet yoga practice and meditation.....maybe I'll just make do with this blog winge and cleaning the kitchen floor instead!
