SOLIA, David Fatutoa Terevana'a. Hi Si'usi'u Well it's been two years now and like Bill still weird that you are both gone so close together. Still miss our usual phone "fights" and catch-ups. I'm off to Melbourne for Charlie's birthday on the 6th then up to Sisi for that weekend. Allouma is meeting me up there and then we come back to Sydney to catch up with Stephanie and Rosey. Joyita was supposed to come with Allouma but she's too busy so will see her when I get to Sydney. Fitihau is going to London for his O/E and taking his girl, not sure if Ana is even in the country. Matthew and Tenika got married in March still no sprogs. Took mum's machine to Wellington for Aleti, basically spent the night then turned around and came home. All the Hennessys are well. Haven't heard anything of Noni but Temapare will be home for Xmas. Sofia is working and Derg has retired. Peter is not talking to me so don't know what he's up to. Bill's mum has been quite ill and John and Jocelyn have been taking turns caring for her and took her to Waihi yesterday so that she will be closer to them. Kevin and I will be going down to visit her on Sunday. Could be our last. Kevin has got himself a dog is now 5 months old and it is doing everything a puppy does. Kevin brought its brother over for a playdate so now they're tearing up the back lawns. Well sole gotta go now cos I want to do some OpShopping, just being nosey. Will see you when I get to Sydney. Alofa tele atu sole. Your big bossy sis.
