You can view it any way you like, but next Tuesday will certainly be the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning for those of us living in this beautiful country.

Dress code
MPs are always wearing a suit with a tie in Parliament. On Wednesday, Ialibu-Pangia MP turned up in a Safari suit. It raised some eyebrows and comments. At least one other MP had been seen wearing one too. The suit looks decent enough – for our weather at least.
Thought for today
Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things. Don’t get stressed over what you cannot control.

“One smile can start a friendship. One word can end a fight. One look can save a relationship. One person can change your life.”
