Powering down my laptop, packing my bag and heading off into the New South Wales “bush” for some R&R and to clear my head.
It isn’t strictly a strike because this worker doesn’t get paid. But when you run a one man operation, it’s important to occasionally walk away. And especially when the news is so unrelentingly depressing that you become repetitive and irritable.
My esteemed Marama is certainly threatening a strike to remove me if I don’t lighten up and talk about something other than Fijian politics.
Back soon to pick apart a certain minister’s finances. Hoo roo, as they say in these parts. A great weekend to all.

Enjoy your hiatus GD. No less than what you deserve. Stay well, stay safe-heard the salties are unfriendly.
Ours is a maddening country, likely to go from bad to worse. Only question is how much further up the creek we gonna go.
BTW, the outback is on my bucket list. Long may that bucket remain outta sight! lol

Have a great weekend in the bush GD but watch out for the snakes there.

The Big Snake (Rambo) is in Kiwiland this weekend. So the Aussie bush is safe …until he goes over there again to extract more $$$ from the vuvale partners!
Smell flowers not rectums says
Go Outbacking by all means as you no doubt deserve this unpaid holiday, but for God’s don’t get lost or anything, or else Fiji’s doomed, and I don’t say this lightly. Fiji can’t risk disharmony or acrimony in the House of Graham either, so do whatever’s needed to keep the Missus happy. The fresh air will also clear the mind after being holed up in Pal’s rectum for so long. Have a good one and we can’t wait to have you back, Graham.
Waltzing with Marama says
Enjoy watching the flames of the billy boiling as you contemplate all things not of Viti! Under the evening shelter of the coolabah tree.
And laugh with the kookaburras in the bush. We need those lighter moments to keep sane.
And Don’t touch that Keyboard-the Marama is right!

Good move Graham.
To quote the talented Barbados Marama Prime Minister, hopefully on her way to Apia via Nadi and reading all about it for CHOGM, we could all do with a ‘reset’. Ya-man!
Time To Kick Back says
Have a great time out bush and enjoy the break away from the chaos in Fiji being caused by none other than Rabuka and his loyal idiots. Have a cold one , cheers mate.

Make sure you take some Banjo Paterson or Dorothea Mackellar poems with you. Put your feet up and enjoy. You deserve that!!!

Just remember, even the bush has Wi-Fi now. So don’t expect to completely escape the keyboard for too long Graham
