Zillion


 

Z is for…Zero

 

Zero is the number of posts left for the A-Z and I am posting a day late as per Fiji time, but since 99.9% of the world is still in non-Fiji time and therefore in 30th, I am still in time. Another zencool thing about moving to the Eastern end of the world. April has been eventful, a zillion things could have gone wrong, but so far so good, that number is zero too, thankfully.

 

The property lease was signed yesterday morning. It’s quite far from Lautoka and hubby will have to commute an hour either way, but that is what it has been for all the previous managers and he’ll get used to it, hopefully, so will I. The property itself is lovely, the usual Fijian feature of double height ceiling, palmwood beams, a smiling garden lacy with palms and ferns and orchids. Lots of spaces around to walk and explore, the marina is close by, the beach is not too far I understand, though I haven’t been to that specific one yet. And the security aspect is better which is the most important thing. As one challenge ends, a larger one begins - to settle into a new place, to  tread light and keep my footprints erasable behind me, so that when I eventually leave the house it is as welcoming as it was when I stepped in. Wish me luck!

  4. Hi Nila - so pleased things seem to be progressing and it's been great to know you're settled (nearly) in Fiji ... and I look forward to hearing more anon. Is there a lot of traffic, especially commuters ... or can he relax as he drives through presumably a pretty island. I'm also interested in the security aspects. But - congratulations on managing the A-Z in conjunction with your move ... all the best for settling down - cheers Hilary

    2. Thanks, Hilary! It's not so much the commuters/traffic it's because the road from Lautoka to Nadi is a narrow single lane either side so if there's a slow moving vehicle in front then a whole heap of cars get stuck with a reduced pace. The roads are also poorly lit/unlit so it's a huge change for hubby -he's used to driving around in Arablands where city streets and even highways are brilliantly lit to the point of being light polluting!
