Yesterday October 10th was Fiji Day and we celebrated by making a lovo for friends and members of the Fiji Geelong Friendhsip Club. The boys and young people did all the work of digging up the lovo pit, preparing the food and cooking the lovo. Vina'a va'alevu to Eperama and his team of helpers.  It was a balmy evening and with daylight saving there was sunlight for a long time, then we lit up the garden with lights. The pork, lamb, dalo, chicken was beautifully cooked and friends brought salads etc. It was a lovely evening for about thirty people. The evening also marked two more events - happy 20th birthday to Naya, and also a memorial burua for Bale's father who was buried a week ago in Suva.
