hi all, not really got time to post a message on journal page so i hope you all get to read this. havent been to the school its a long and complicated story! so iv been sat round doin nothin a lot, weathers very mixed sometimes its sunny other times its cold. i went to a Kava ceremony last night which is a fijian tradition, kava is a drink that looks like muddy water (and tastes like it) i nearly threw up but its rude to refuse it so i managed four bowl fulls before i excused myself for the toilet (to heave) its all good fun though lol, and its gotta be done whilst in fiji! apart from that im currently reading the lord of the rings trilogy that is very hard going and iv got Gazzas autobiography for my next book, the excitement!!! i go to the coral coast tommorrow though so that should be fun, am staying ther 3nights. love to you all! gem xxx
