Turns out that on of the shells I found on the beach the other day was a Nautilus. I mentioned to L. who runs the store, and she looked at me in amazement. She has never found one after living on the island her whole life, and supposedly there is only one found every seven years.
Cool.
I also found three cowrie shells, also quite rare.
I went through all the stock today and made a list of stuff I need. While I was doing that P. was cleaning. Lovely woman. She told me about her garden, her handicrafts and the library. She runs it. (For an hour every week!!!) and also works as a teachers aide at the school.
Today at the Health and Weinberg centre there was a guy who does community development and mental health. Turns out he lives in Leichhardt, one suburb over from where Mauro and I have just come from... We had a chat about getting some community projects and Mauro put forward his idea of getting a community radio up. He thought it was a great idea, and so did Judy, who is the High School Teacher...could be something there.
Everyone has been asking about Mauro's music, and it sounds like there might be something there for him...has always been a major worry, what he could do here.
MMM, cooking lamb shanks, hungry.
Tomorrow!!!
