Week 23 - Music

Meanwhile Hohepa Solomon had decided to become a private eye.

His first cases aren't very exciting. Jolly Roger has lost her mouthwash - and apparently Jack is the culprit.

And then there's a stake-out in the park.

There's a new store in town: the consignment store. It appears to sell a little bit of everything, and you can let the store owner sell your stuff for you as well.

It's in the middle of the town, and within a few days it's become the busiest venue in all of Tapuwhai Town.

The new art gallery is finished as well. It's very bare, but donations are welcome!

Apparently there's some kind of charity project giving away free guitars - because all of a sudden everyone seems to have them.

Tim Chin has a Chinese pattern on his guitar:

 

Whero goes for starbursts.

While her sister prefers something more floral:

Anna and Pita both have new guitars, too:

And unexpectedly,  Tschura Ling has an electric blue guitar.

They will probably all end up losing their instruments one way or another, but for now, there's a lot of guitar jamming going on!!

Tim Chin, Sisana Karakia and Gretchen Ngatea have been planting their gardens.

The "Red" and "Blue" families had apparently decided to bury the hatchet and try once again to move to Niua Simoa.

Since Ethel Pataua (the real name of the "Blue" family) is a paramedic, Dr. Tumeke put in a good word for her. He really could use an extra pair of hands - since the birth of Prince Henry III the clinic had suddenly become a lot more popular.

So the Pataua family move into one of the prefabs. Big Joe and Ethel have five children, so they need a lot of space.

The Tagaloa ("Red") family aren't about to give up trying. One way or another they'll be moving in, too!
