We seldom have plain meat, veg, and salad. Last night, instead of plain steamed green beans with butter, I created a recipe for stir-fried, cooked in ghee and coconut oil, Asian seasoned green beans infused with bacon I’d first pre-cooked in the microwave.īaby palm fronds growing up on the sides of a larger frond.

With our limited way of eating, it’s always challenging coming up with new ways to prepare our food, creating and/or following new recipes I’ve found online at the zillions of low carb sites, many requiring tweaking here and there to make them suitably free of sugar, grains, and starch. I don’t spend more than 10 minutes daily on Facebook or other social media, preferring to spend time up and out of this chair when possible.īougainvillea isn’t as prolific here as they were in Kenya. The remainder of my days at “home,” referring to the afternoons, I spend searching for future locations and vacation rentals, working on the financials and our spreadsheet, and communicating with friends and family. It truly is a team effort requiring our combined attention each morning. He waits to listen to his podcasts until after I’ve posted, offering considerable assistance in researching and fact-checking many aspects of each post. Tom, whose grammar may be a result of growing up “in the hood” is actually an excellent proofreader.

After it’s online Tom also proofreads it, often finding errors I missed after which I immediately return to the editing page to make the corrections.Īnother house in the area, down the hill from us. Our post may not be editorially perfect by any means, but, we do make the effort. Most days, it takes the entire morning to write, edit, and upload photos. Not one to sit and stare at the computer I can’t otherwise use, I find other ways to make use of the time. Once I start a post I usually stick with it until it’s online except for the time the photos take to load during which I usually chop and dice for the evening’s meal. Here in Fiji, with the slow wifi, we’re limited on how many photos will upload without taking hours. I’ll admit from time to time I have no choice but to wander about the yard looking for new photo ops to post over the next days if for whatever reason we haven’t been able to go anywhere of significance.įlowers are blooming with this excessive amount of rain. Of course, there always will be the repeated “year ago” photo at the bottom of each post. Tiny purple flowers with a tiny bee on the flower on the left.Īt times, our photos may appear to be repeated, but we do not post repeats unless we mention in the caption they’ve been previously posted. It’s an indescribable pleasure.įortunately, we’ve gone out during short dry periods able to take the many photos we’ve shared to date with still a stash in “inventory.” Our goal is to have no less than five or six days of yet un-posted photos on hand in the event of inclement weather. Good grief, I prepare a daily post and need photos! The great part is the enjoyment I derive from taking the photos and from posting them along with the story of an outing. I, on the other hand, prefer to be out exploring and taking photos.

But, the mozzies are in full force during this rainy period. If we sat outside in the rain we’d be protected by the overhang. Somehow, he manages to entertain himself constantly reading online looking for future cruises, airfares, and car rentals listening to his favorite Minnesota podcast, Garage Logic (three hours daily) checking stock prices and financial matters and, spending time spewing a variety of opines on Facebook, Cruise Critic and a few other choice newsy sites he fancies. If we hardly ever went out and about, he’d be content. This way I wouldn’t have this daily dish towel issue. I longingly think of those stand-up racks we’ve used in various countries throughout the world where we did our own wash, hanging the clothes to dry. I saw a clothesline in an obscure location on this five-acre property. Shalote will take the soaked towels along with our dirty laundry to the mysterious washer and dryer she and Usi use to do the laundry. When necessary, I place the dirty towels in a bag in the freezer overnight. We can’t throw them into the laundry when they’d be covered in ants by morning. These dish towels have been hanging outside for days unable to dry with the constant rain. My dish towels have been hanging outside on the ropes of the railing for days, partially drying during short dry periods and then becoming soaked a short time later. There’s not a single spot indoors to hang them. As of today, we’ve been in Savusavu for 15 days and its rained for 13 days. With our lifestyle geared toward making events less stressful when its within our control keeps us at “home” on rainy days.
