Fiji to Brisbane and more Brisbane, July-Sept

The flowers at the Suva markets are something, and nothing better than to be framed by flowers






Duruka, Fiji's asparagus, has won me over, especially since any asparagus that is imported is generally well past its use by date, don't know how I'll manage to live in Brisbane without duruka. Its cooked in coconut milk, with chilli and onion, as is every other vegetable here, but that's the local product. You can buy it ready prepared at the market which is the optimum choice.

Back to Brisbane and a new property, it looks great but that path is a danger when its wet and has to go. The garden is great and will be better when I get rid of all the pest plants, The house has a self contained flat for me, great when I want to pack up and travel and Jan and Dave live upstairs, can recommend their Poinciana Cafe
All was going well, I'd painted my area a shade of white, and then disaster struck, went to have some renovations done and found live termites, still trying to sort out that battle, as they should have been found when the inspection was done.





Had a quick visit to the West End fair, to take my mind off all the problems, and decided I didn't need to use this knitted loo.






Lucky I'm catching up on the year past and will be travelling south in my next blog.
