Hi Peter. I'm happy to hear that life is good for you and your Mrs.

We're okay too. Just cruising gently along in the slow lane of life in the province.

As for my pension payment, that experience with BDO last year was such a stressful cock-up, it's made me hesitant to trust any bank here. So, for a very small fee, I just continue to transfer from a UK-based bank, via remittance company. What I will probably do, is open an account here in my own name, once the 13A comes through, and then try again.

Anyway...wishing you and your loved ones all the best.
