We also met Jurgen and Kyoko. They are involved with setting up Atamai, an eco-village that is being built. Mami and I spent a week or two looking over the land and speaking to some of the people involved. We are certainly interested.
I decided to work part-time this year. My proportion will be 0.6, and I shall be at the Learning Centre at Otago Polytechnic on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. People ask me,"So what will you do on your days off." How sad that they need to ask!
My youngest daughter, Iacinta, flew to Kiribati for a three-month stay. She is keen to pick up the language and culture. Through emails I have communicated with her more often than when she is here! Iacinta will be in the sixth form this year, at Otago Girls' High School, Vincent will be in the seventh form at Kings' High School, and Albany will be doing her second last or is it final year of her Law/Japanese double degree.
