  royal tenenbaums steve used to pick mangoes when he was younger. one of his friends doesnt know the difference between two, to and too. we had christmas dinner with the mother and father of one of his riders from germany. his rider's name is luke. his dad's name is dirk. rachael and steve have been learning german on the computer. rachael is quite adept at german. she has picked it up rather quickly. dirk has spent time in namibia. he says the locals have destroyed the reclaimed farms they were given by the government when power was handed over from germany to the native namibians. he said before the natives and settlers refused to work together but now they are cooperating more. he and his wife run a gardening business. they import orchids from holland. he grew up during the time of russian occupation of east germany. he had to watch a cowboy show every week. this was made in czech republic. it was used as communist propaganda. he said what good is freedom when you have no money. he said drugs are a big problem among young people in germany now especially ecstasy. luke is 15 so he is one year too young to drink in germany. rachael bought dirk licquer chocolates. he was working in the kitchen in the army. they had 10 minutes to eat their soup. sometimes they would not have enough time to eat it so the soup would end up on the floor. he calls his wife's kitchen her hobby room. they like to eat sausages every day. at christmas time they eat white sausage. this is sausage with milk. luke likes rammstein ,the count, nnenka and xavier naidoo. his dad watches german movies but he just watches american ones. he did a tour with some riders from the north of england. he has toured with nitro circus. there is a soccer field close to his house with dirt jumps on it. people have made movies about his exploits. he lost 2 of his teeth when he was riding his bike. archerfield speedway cancelled a show on them. crusty demons was going to make a movie about steve and his mates but then nothing came of their plans. steve was bobbing his head the way some indians say yes. dirk has to heat his orchids for 2 months in a greenhouse. luke likes singer/songwriters. steve has played his drumkit 5 times since he got it. he saw dad's 4wd for the first time last night. rachael wants us to come over and visit her more often. steve bought her a book about charles the 1st for christmas. according to rachael's friend zoren not many young germans are getting married these days. more's the pity. they are robbing themselves of the joy of committing to a relationship and showing the world you love each other and having a relationship that has its' foundations in right standing with the Lord. dirk wants to make movies about riding bikes. he rode a bike through the desert in namibia. luke has ridden in stutgart in the south of germany. there is zero tolerance for drink driving in germany but people still try it anyway as is human nature. some people try to flog off fake bricks ostensibly from the berlin wall. dirk says the temperature in namibia is similar to here. it is winter right now in germany. luke can make more money riding in germany than he can in australia. he has to do an assignment when he gets back. he got to finish school a week early. he made a bet with steve concerning bike riding that if either one of them loses they have to shave their hair. he has a "strange"-his words-english teacher who mispronounces his name. he has picked up the aussie accent like a pro. steve says some of the other judges on the pro tour circuit are prejudiced towards riders from their country and they like to give similar scores. steve judges by ability yet finds it hard not to be influenced by the opinions of other judges. dirk's solution- a wall between judges and music playing so they cant hear each other talk  ¶ 2:21 PM

  time marches on i bought world's best daddy by kelly williams and kathryn shutt, life's emergency  handbook by kirk cameron and ray comfort,sound the trumpet-messages to empower african american men compiled by darryl d sims($20.35),trin-i-tee 5:17-the kiss,natalie wilson and s.o.p-the good life($29.35) and surviving the fitness game-book and dvd set by joAnna ward from tree of life christian bookshop in lautoka fiji last week. i gave semi and rona money for their first week of shopping as a married couple. i gave eugene my spare fijian coins. i only wish i had discovered the fijian money tucked right into the bottom of my waist bag before i left fiji instead of once i had gotten home and it was not useful unless i take it to foreign exchange in which case i wont get as much back for my troubles. if i hadnt already planned a trip to africa with prina in 2015 i would come back to fiji for longer but i think i have to save money for england next year at the same time as saving for a wedding i have been invited to be best man for( paula and florence dautei) next year. this time i am hoping to make the bachelor party unlike semi's wedding and i will endeavour to give the date of my arrival not the date i fly out of brisbane:) i am just fortunate that God blessed me with very patient friends:) there are people who joke about having boyfriends who are obviously straight. there are some cross dressing guys in fiji. one was at semi's wedding. my sis reckons some boys get raised as girls in fiji. semi was made to dress up like a girl at his bachelor party for this game called bounce back where you write something for someone to do and you end up having to do it yourself. if i was in his shoes i wouldnt have done it i would have got them to write something else until i got something i was willing to do which didnt conflict with my moral beliefs as God says it is an abomination for a man to dress in women's clothes and vice versa. semi gave me the gold crown with sunglasses attached which he had to wear. the part that sits on your ear had snapped off midflight. i cant remember if atms in australia had grey plastic bits bent over so your hand is covered under a box like shape while you type your pincode. i am still procrastinating over getting a diary. i meant to wait until this month but now i think will wait til the last week in the hope that the price will go down. i saw a sign advertising diaries in fiji but didnt stop in the shop to get one. i still have to get recording mikes and headphones for the lifted band and figure out when they want to tour brisbane. also i have to get on the phone or the net and try my best to promote them.  ¶ 5:00 AM
