Coloured Round Containers

Coloured round plastic containers with lids are also seen everywhere. They are used for food and for taking home leftovers. 

After attending a first birthday party on our second weekend. I am proud to say


that I was given a round container with lid full of leftovers. I have it soaking lentil sprouts on the kitchen bench.  

The ants are trying hard to get in but seem unlikely to succeed. I can see the round container will be very useful. I may have to buy a couple more.

They found UXO items at the site of the new police barracks and out in the shipping channel. These would have been from the battle of Tarawa in WWII. Two people working with the women's Institute are working on a social protection program. An urban planning consultant from Japan is working on a hotel project.
