Here is a picture of my new Tok Pisin language teacher. Yes I decided that I needed a kick start and so found this lady through Andrew and Ruth. She has a long walk to the road before catching the bus [PMV] to get here. The bus is K2 each way which I pay naturally. The going rate is K1.50 an hour which is about 30pence so there was no way I could give her just that especially with her travel. We have a great giggle and it's working! I'm even talking to people on the bus! The gardeners beam when I practice on them!

Dorothy is her name and here she has her youngest with her as he was going for a dental appointment at the haus sik [hospital] and his name is Lloyd. As Gary's second name is Lloyd and my Mum's name Dorothy, as well as my sister and Ken's, she loves it.

Dorothy comes at 7:45 ish for an hour. I now wake up forming sentences!

Lloyd went back and told his friends that he had a special new auntie! He climbed a pawpaw tree to get some green pawpaws as I mentioned I like them as a vegetable! He's only 4. I gave hime a multicoloured Edexcel marker that I had brought out with me. His brother told him that he should have it as he was a school boy. His father said he should have it so he could underline things when the Pastor was preaching. Lloyd's response was to put it up his shirt and tell them Auntie had given it to him!!
