My special place

Morning @Eve7

Not a lot of plans for today. Have to take S to a birthday party this afternoon and then D to work. Other then that just doing the usual at home like washing and ironing 😒 So much fun!!

Have you got any plans for today?

I’m not doing much but might venture as far as the shower and then send S1 to but sone Jewish penicillin aka chicken soup and some lemons to make a hot drink.

I slept for 10 hours so the cold and flu tabs worked well and had a dream I was back living in PNG.

Hiding in the bedroom otherwise @Snowie

Glad you got some sleep last night @Eve7 Those meds must have worked well.

I didn't know you lived in PNG. My H lived there when he was growing up.

I hope the chicken soup, tea and bed help you hun. Sometimes they are better then meds.

We were in PNG for 10 years and S1 was born there @Snowie I wouldn’t live there now but it was great back in the day.

Hi @Eve7 @Snowie @Bow @WIP @Anastasia ... anyone else passing through here today.

Really good to hear @Eve7 that you got a good long sleep. I hope you are able to get some of the chicken soup, it sounds ideal for your cold/flu.

@Snowie @Eve7 My sister lived in PNG for 3 years, and she loved it. But that would have been about 20 years ago. I also had a friend a long time ago, who had a brother who lived and worked there for many years. Sadly I never got to visit there myself, even when my sister was located there.

Have a good day all.

@Eve7 H lived there growing up but came home when he was about 15. He loved it there too.

@Emelia8 hoping your weekend goes well too 💕

Hi @Emelia8 I have my chicken soup aka Jewish penicillin, a bag of lemons and some honey. Apparently cold and flu tabs aren't supposed to be taken with ad's..

It's a shame you disnt get to PNG. My Mum came when I had S1 but I had a "hausgirl" so Mum felt a bit put out.

@Snowie say Hi wantok to H from me. I'll be in bed again soon after a rather quiet lacklustre day.

Is anyone there? 💞

Hi @Snowie @Eve7 @Emelia8 I just happened upon this thread and was reading about all your PNG connections. Lukim yu na!! I lived there for about half my childhood in the early 70s and went back to visit in 2006 as a solo white woman - not the done thing at all! When I went back I found I was even thinking in pidgin within the first 2 days. Had some adventures in Moresbi, Goroka and on Loluata Island. And some hairy times too, but overall it was amazing to visit again. I found the family of a woman who used to look after me in Porebada village amongst other things. And found the village near Goroka with whom I danced in the big sing sing in 1972. Such transformative life experiences. Would love to hear more of your stories about the place if you feel like sharing. You can find me mostly on the A long rave thread, but I'm not around every day these days.

Best wishes to you all, and to @Former-Member and @outlander as well.
