August

This is the August picture on my Tahitian calendar. I hope you’re having good weather where ever you are. It’s hot and sunny here. Rob and I went for a late walk a couple of evenings ago and saw the moon rise. It was huge and pinky gold, a real harvest moon, very romantic.

Rob had a visit from his expupil who sent us the calendar. They have just been home for a break and have gone back for another years slog in Tahiti! He gave us a calendar for 2008 and some playing cards. It was nice of them to think of us.

Part II of the calendar story

Yesterday a new calendar arrived from Tahiti! A few years ago, Rob gave English lessons to a high flying banker who was packed off to Tahiti. We hadn’t heard from him for ages and yesterday the calendar arrived. It’s in English, French and Tahitian, so January is Tenuare and today is Mahana Maha. Besides the beautiful pictures of blue seas and white sandy beaches, we have the French holidays and US holidays as well as the Saints days.

Because of the bad weather this morning I had the local news on. While I was listening they had a phone in quiz game where the contestant had to guess whether 10 US calendar days were real or not. I was expecting Martin Luther King Day or Lincoln’s Birthday and things like that, but in fact they must have visited Cassie-B for her calendar. The contestant won… just, more by luck than judgement.

Does anyone know how to get the pictures straight?
