PNG has some of the most exquisite flowers. They are the bright colours dotted throughout the dense greens. Here are a couple of my favourites.

Buying for the dead

My other half had to approve the purchase of 4 coffins today. The things we buy here are very different from the things we have purchased in previous jobs...

Noises in the jungle..

The jungle shocks me. I go outside at night, to stand in the silence and listen to the noises. I love the screechy birds that entertain us during the day...and the whiney ones that come out at night. I love the great noisy plops of heavy leaves falling to the ground...leaves as big as dinner plates...and almost as heavy too. I love the bats that soundlessly move across the sky above us and the incredible variety of giant moths that clutch the wire screens on our windows. I love the way the cloud comes in at night, creating an eerie thickness...in which we sleep. I love the sudden coolness that tells me that rain is on its way...and the rain that falls as a thick whiteness amd makes us shut our walls of louvres in order to hear the TV...

Changes, changes and more changes...

In the space of just a few weeks, i have resigned, prepared to leave Australia and return to Italy within weeks. Then I was convinced to stay at work for another 6 months and promoted to manager!I have had to re-set my life.But I am not complaining. These are exciting times. And the dream is still only months away...In the meantime, to keep the dream alive, I am listening to the sounds of the jungle while I learn Italian and keep crafting!

I'm on my way back to writing!

Hello Readers I will shortly be back, writing about our lives in Italy... But first, there is 6 months worth of preparation for returning to Italy... along with 6 months worth of living in the jungle in Papua New Guinea! Stay tuned...
