Am I in control?

“If you don’t feel that you are possibly on the edge of humiliating yourself, of losing control of the whole thing, then probably what you are doing isn’t very vital.” – John Irving.

Well, glad we cleared that up.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Fidji Salads - Lunch Delivery

Something I miss like crazy is food delivery. It's starting to happen more and more, but it's not always healthy options. Hooray! Here's a healthy option!!

Greetings, 

 

I trust your Easter Weekend was restful.  We are taking orders for Thursday and Friday, cut-off time for orders is 10am of each day.

 

Do pardon the late posting of this week's menu:

 

Ceylon spinach and red lettuce are the stars of this week's salad, complemented by Tamari raosted sunflower seeds, kidney-beans, carrots, slices of Lebanese cucumber, Spanish Onions, freshly home-sprouted beans, atop a bed of local lettuce and watercress, completed with garlic flat bread, and our specially made vinegrette on the side.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Best Regards,

New Guide to Suva

This is awesome. I'm newbie enough to appreciate it as a resource,  seasoned enough to say it's on the mark.
==========================================
Dear International Community,

The United Nationals Local Expatriate Spouse Association (UNLESA) committee has recently revised and updated the UNLESA Settling in Fiji Guide, as well as developed an interactive and informative website.  We are excited to share these two initiatives with the International Community in Fiji.  Please forward onto and share with your members!  
Our new website: http://un-lesa-fiji.wix.com/settling-in-fiji You will find a pdf version of the Guide on the Resources page.
We look forward to your feedback and input as to anything we have missed or what could be improved.  We trust the Guide and Website will further assist in the arrival and settling in of international staff and their families and help them to enjoy Fiji to its fullest!
Kind regards,
Mary-Ann G. Schreiner
Chair

Fiji Arts Club Choir

To all members of the Fiji Arts Club Choir and other friends,

Over the past year or so we have lost several members of the choir through people coming to the end of contracts etc. and returning to their own countries.  At the same time, I like to think that others have come to Fiji and hopefully there are some who sing and perhaps were in choirs in their own country.  They would be welcomed into the very multinational Fiji Arts Club Choir with a strong truly local content.  We have vacancies in all parts, but especially tenors and basses.

As you may know, we did produce a programme of music for Christmas Day with FBC TV.  That programme was shown three times on Christmas Day and we have received some good comments including from the UK where one comment was, "I wish we had programmes like that over here".

Over the years we have produced over 40 programmes for Fiji TV with programmes for Christmas and Easter including The Crucifixion and Olivet to Calvary.  In addition we have given first performances of music written for the choir, performed various concerts, mainly in Suva, staged performances of some Gilbert and Sullivan, sung the National Anthems and other music for the Queen's Birthday, also for the American 4th July celebrations and for the Korean Day.  In remembrance of those who died in the 9/11 attack in the USA we sang the Faure Requiem.  Last year we sang at the French day of music with a quartet from Noumea in two highly acclaimed performances.
   
I have just returned from the UK and intend to commence rehearsals after Easter on Sunday 12 April at the Fiji Arts Club, commencing at 7.00 pm.  The next programme will be for a general concert to be followed by a TV recording for a Christmas Day programme.   

I will be grateful if you could please circulate the contents of this email to friends and others who are not on the above list of emails.  Also apart from emailing, please directly make contact with other members, friends and relations etc.  Hopefully we can expand our numbers and also give all members the chance to sing at a high standard.

Should anyone require more information, I can be contacted by email on  robinandla@connect.com.fj   my mobile number is 992 5670  


Kind regards
Robin Palmer
