Papua New Guinea is part of the Commonwealth of the UK despite being an independent country. As a result, a public holiday is the Queen's birthday, which we celebrated last Monday,

even though in Australia and NZ they were celebrating it a week sooner. I don't know what you are suppose to do on the Queen's birthday, but it seemed like a great time to play softball. We have a large number of people on station currently, both family and volunteers, so we had enough for a game. Some of the guys were willing to mow the big primary school field in the morning so we could play in the afternoon. Prior commitments kept some awa

y from the field, but we had enough to play and had a good time doing it. Thankfully, no major injuries this time, which is always a blessing.
Following the softball game, some of the ladies got together for spaghetti, fellowship, and a showing of Phantom of the Opera. The projector my family got me for Christmas, turns my house into a nice movie theatre, so we had a nice time.
