Thursday 6th December

4 days to go.

The papers are reporting the court proceedings of the High Court challenge by the AG. He gets his chance to respond to the allegations of vexatious and self interest in the action. A new Deputy PM has been announced. Patterson Oti. He was most prominent recently for a statement he made at the UN accusing Australia of invading the Solomon Islands by sending RAMSI in to help.

At work, Duke is being kicked out of his accommodation. He has the day off to oversee the uplift of his possessions. After 18 months here he is leaving on the same plane as I. Tweety and I went out to his house to pick up a couple of tables to take to Nemos place.

Duke will be joining Tweety and I in the King Sol until Tuesday.

All things yellow seem to attract Tweetys’ attention. Today at lunch he got really excited by the sight of corn. Just because we have been eating lunch at the same place for the majority of our time here and they have always had the corn sitting in the bain marie.

He raced up to the counter and bought a cob. For $6.00SBD or 0.92cents, when you consider that his toasted cheese and onion sandwich cost him $24.00SBD he said “shoulda bought 4 of theses! Another meeting is arranged with a Lawyer at 1610 today; I am trying to get some information from the Lawyer to help one of the guys here do his job. I think it is handy for him to know what parts of a prosecution case a defence Lawyer looks at.

More pool tonight, the temperature has risen from 31 to 32deg C and the minimum is equally rocketing up to 24 deg C. Tweety said the week long forecast indicates these temperatures up until Sunday where the maximum is tipped to be 26 with heavy showers and Thunderstorms. It looks as though the rainy season has arrived. I will be happy if there are clear skies from Honiara to Brisbane in between 1700 and 1900 on the 11th and the same between Perth and Brisbane on the 12th.
