What a delight and a surprise...Sione made us a clock from scraps from Landfill......he told us in all seriousness how he had made it from head gaskets from the huge Caterpillar engines...he said he just could not see it go to waste.......oh my gosh it was the TRUE start of a most marvelous day...the clock itself was from the tip and he found these blue tubes that seperated the gaskets....and he said with great gusto that they actually fitted !!!!!....he said that he wanted to hang those things on the bottom that swing....penduleums you mean Sione....yes yes...I then said that I had always wanted a clock with penduleums........with great laughter as you can see......I tell you every family should have a Sione from Tonga in theirs.....
My Tony was so impressed.......By the way he does not have a beard anymore...he grows it to protect himself from the Sun when he goes up the North of Australia and the temp reaches above 50 deg .....also with all the iron ore in the ground which reflects back up into his face......... That was not the right time...as it was about 8.a.m. Yes it now hangs in our dining room...we do love it....but feel we will have it for life !!! Sione was so impressed with his effort and worried that anyone would copy it to make one for themselves...we thought he should patent it......xx.... bless his heart..... love that boy!!!
Can't wait to see it xxx
