Journal. The Islands

I have just been reminded. An advert on top of my weblog page advertises " The Real Fiji Experience". Yes it will be an experience. For the past few months it has been the rainy season up in the South Pacific Islands. November to April. The Cyclone season too.

The rains have been more prevalent this year than normal up in the Islands. Flooding has been rife and houses washed away. Emergency funds and help have been supplied by Australia and New Zealand.

Meanwhile holidays are continually being advertised at rock-bottom prices at barely more than the plane fare. Each evening here in NZ the Pacific weather map is shown during the evening news hour with black cloud and lightning symbols continually over the Islands.

This is probably why we have had so much unstable weather this year, our weather is affected by the tropical belt at this time of year.

Why do I continually spell continually... contiually when I know it should be continually? I always do it... contiually.

Three cheers for spell check but its contiual reminder doesn't cure me!!
