    Yes Les... bit the bullet.

    More fun being an OAP here... that's for sure !

    Handed back the council bungy, and mothballed the bus pass.

    No rent here. I bought the land and built our little house on it.. all paid for.

    Tough decision, but I was never going to get the Mrs to the UK, realistically.

    Our boy has his British passport though, so hopefully that'll be good for him in the future... and maybe his mum too, once they've chucked my lifeless carcase in the river.

    Don't get on here as much as I should, there seems to be so many other things to do.

    Moved to Iloilo in November and although we moved straight in to the house there are still a few things we are having done.

    Started language lessons a few weeks ago (it's not easy but I'll stick with them).

    If anybody is planning a visit when they can check this out from the BI website before you do. I have also added it to the Asia Visa section.

    So far managed to survive Covid and the recent Typhoon that hit Marikina very badly. Worst typhoon to hit Marikina ever they said. Huge areas flooded very fast. It's only now that my wife can rest from helping with the evacuated folks....really really so sad to see what happened.

    Happy Christmas to all....ours will be very quiet this year hahaha
    At my age I'm not allowed outside my residence.....been stopped multiple times but so far always blagged my way out...
    Gonna get locked up one of these days my wife says

    Went out with the Mrs the other day for the first time in 9 months ! They've now permitted more than one passenger on the trikes here near Dagupan (bro-in-law's being our main mode of transport).

    So, I was able to nip into the city to extend my visa, and also to pick up my NBI clearance... pre-applying for my 13A.

    On the way home...a call in at the supermarket to stock up on booze, food, etc.

    Here... couple of pics of the views that day (in Dagupan) :

    Roast potatoes may be on the same plate as bread sauce, but they cant meet up with turkey. Sprouts must self isolate.

    Latest cartoon from MATT.

    I know a Scouser, well she's from the posh part her and her BF have bought a house in Iloilo , but she made it back to the UK before the lockdown back in March/April and can't wait to get back to the Phils.
