    Happy to be back in the Philippines

    Hi all

    Glad to be back in the Philippines, with Ladybug.
    Arrived here last wednesday, after an uneventful flight, apart from stiff back & bum, from sitting too long.

    Jumped on my Cebu Pacific flight, expecting dancing girls, but none to be seen.
    (Have since seen it on TV, though it was male flight attendants dancing. They do it on some of the flights, in-flight after doing the serious demonstration, before take off).

    Couldn't wait to get to Cagayan de Oro, as Ladybug was waiting to meet me there, at the Airport.

    Really love being back here, all the colour, noise, smells the chaos, it's mostly all good (well we all know the bad bits?)...Don't even mind the cockroaches too much, except when they run over you in the night.

    Well so far, we've celebrated Ladybugs Birthday & our wedding Anniversary, so all is good...Had quite a bit of rain, but it hasn't put the dampers on things.

    ...Dry day today, so we went to see a new bit of land, Ladybug & her sisters, have jointly purchased...All good, then stumbled our way to the sea, across a fish farm where we sat in a small nippa hut/cottage on the beach, drinking sprite & eating bread rolls...simple pleasures

    Still feeding a group of street cats, that live at the back of Ladybugs home...they sit for hours waiting for a few scraps. All skinny & undernourished,like many of the animals here.
    We give them some of her cats food as well sometimes...we're a couple of softies.

    Anyway, lots more to see & do, so goodnight here from Philippines.

    Sim & Ladybug

    Make sure you don't get on one of those flights sounds like a special charter for uphill gardeners

    Hi all

    Thanks for all your comments, just online for a while,as Ladybug is watching one of those TV novellas.

    Saw some news earlier, dancing tax collectors is the latest thing. ...Don't think it will catch on ...Pig racing in west wales, even made the news here. ...No we don't spend all of our time watching TV, just like to catch up with a bit of news.

    Dedworth, I've booked you on to the 'all male special' cebu Pacific flight, details should arrive in the post soon.

    Hi Mick
    Yes I know Park Cafe well, been there many times for a drink or bite to eat. We were going to go to night cafe (market/entertainment) Friday/Saturday, but we had heavy rain...Hope to get there this weekend.

    Yep! Steve...shorts & flip flops on ...Sunny & too mainit at the moment, probably rain later?

    Just doing the washing at the moment, it's my job to rinse all the soap out 3 times.

    Just arrived here a month ago. I am keeping myself busy as to not feel homesick that much. I got to talk with my family back home everyday though
    Glad you're enjoying your vacation and regards to Ladybug
