Friday was a public holiday here in Fiji - Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna Day... Unlike other people my family is not too keen on remaining aimless for even a day. Hence unlike others we were awake at the crack of dawn - 5 A.M. armed to do as much as possible in one day!!! So after doing all the housework we ventured outdoors. Our current home has a very big yard with lots of trees in it. We have 3-4 varieties of mango trees, lime tree, lemon tree, orange tree (2-3 varieties) and 3 mandarine tree. This does not include all the vegetables, flowers, coconut or palm trees!!! Yeah I know!!! Try imagine raking the whole yard!!!
Now this is citrus season in Fiji and since we have so many trees we just had to pick the mandarines. We left the oranges for another day. :) Dad being the nimble one climbed the tree and while in the process of picking the fruits with a rod he injured his foot by rather forcefully yanking on the rod which was right above his foot!!! OOOuch!!! So from Friday he is bed ridden with a rather badly swollen foot. We tried cold compress, cold water bath with lots and lots of ice, ice pack, tried even turmeric pack, moov, sprain creams etc etc... The swelling went down yesterday but the pain is still there... He is going to the doctors today!!!
No need to say that he will no longer be going for any yard duties!!!
My friend, Prabhat's, birthday was on 31st May. Still need to get an update from him.
My brother is going for a visit to Austria, Cyprus.. etc. Currently he is studying for his Ph.D in Czech Republic so he gets to go all over Europe. Though he no longer sends any photos!!! Don't know why!!! :(
Since Dad was not in any good shape we postponed our monthly trip to the temple. If Dad is ok then we'll go this coming weekend.
Started work today and am really busy today... Hence just a straight forward update.

Ohh well.. here is the update.
I woke up at 3:30am in the morning and started for temple at 4:30am. came back home by 7:40am. Had regular workshop class and then parents' meet for summer camp in the school.
