To make matters worse, I bought a couple of pairs of togs recently that were going to change my life, I imagined.
They looked great in the pictures, when they arrived they seemed of good quality. Then during the school holiday I took a pair out for a test drive at my favourite pool (and by pool I mean hotpool) Ocean Spa and here's the thing about the togs.
The togs look okay when they are dry, but the beautiful two-piece that has almost a tutu-style top, floats up in the water when it gets wet so it looks like I am a gigantic bullfrog sitting on a lily pad.

Not a good look to get mistaken for an animal when I am wallowing in the South Pacific Ocean.
So the countdown is well and truly on.
My sister,who is the ultra-organiser in this relationship is sending me through lists daily.
A snacks list, a drinks list, a first aid list, a Covid list, a list of clothes for the plane, a list of clothes to get changed into when the 30 degrees hits you at Nadi, a list of presents to leave for the staff ... the list goes on.
Hope I haven't forgotten anything! Bula vinaka.
