A Fiji wedding - from the archives




It's an anniversary today - 31st December and it's a bit hard to remember forty years ago in Lautoka. Anyway here's a picture taken about that time of us with Nau Levu and Nau Kisi.

Love the glasses Wendy. Have a good anniversary with Peceli, if you guys are planning to rendevous.
If not remember absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Happy New Year.

Happy Anniversary, and congratulations - amazing length of time.

Funny to think I was in Lautoka at the same time - we lived in the house to the right of the police station. Thank you for bringing back memories of Fiji.

Thank you Panda, Laminar, George, Nzm, and Julie. We did have a nice day yesterday but no expensive dinner or anything. There's been too many parties over the past three weeks. We got home this morning about 4 a.m. after celebrating with some of the Fijian groups at the Coburg church in Melbourne - after midnight, kava, talk, and more food.
Just checking into the internet for ten minutes.
Julie - you lived in Lautoka then, wow! We were in Maravu Street halfway up the hill. I taught some music at Jasper Williams school that year.

Hi Wendy!
Happy Anniversary and a wonderful New Year! That is indeed an impressive lenght of time.

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I have been reading and enjoying your posts for a while now and was going to comment one of these days. I am a historian doing research on Fiji, among other things - hence the name "Loloma". I've been to Fiji once and hope to go again this year.
I was really happy to come across your blog - it's always nice to find people who share my love for these islands.

Loloma, okay, that explains the name.
Lovely task to be a historian. If you are interested in music of Fiji - that was my area of research - and my thesis is at USP - the music of Labasa. I don't write academic stuff these days - it's hard enough to put one sentence together without a 'senior moment'!
