Some Photos of Our House so far.

Here are a few Photos of last days in Kuwait, first days in Mactan.

Time to go to UK

On Oct 25th at 18:20 I will leave Cebu for Manchester UK, Stephen will pick me up at 06:25 the next morning and take me straight to Barrow. I hope to be able to continue with treatment there as soon as possible. I have had (last Mon-Tue-Wed) another session of Chemotherapy. To be honest it is taking its toll on my strength. I am not ill, just weak at present. I'm alot better than I was, but not has good as I want to be. The Doctor here is absolutely brilliant, her words were 'we can settle for nothing less than total remission'.
Enough of that what are we up to? Getting settled, putting up pictures, installing electrical equipment etc so that we can live a hassle free life here. unfortunately, that means sewer pipes have to be ripped up, plugs rewired. No 'U' bends, faulty sockets, etc. I have been plumbing, I don't like to bury everything in the walls, Yes, I know it is neat and tidy, but you can't see what tricks they have been up to, well the developer makes the builder put all things right.
The next few months are going to be hard on Adam and Ruth without me, I know Adam is feeling it, Ruth is a stalwart, and so good, but even she gets tired with all the responsiblities. so please remember them in your prayers. They will come to the UK for Christmas, and we will see. One day at a time. I will try and pull in a visit to see you all in the UK as I have time. I will let you have my mobile No. later.

We are in the new House

Yes at long last we are in our house. 4 years after first signing up to buy a house lot on the philippine Island of Mactan we are in our house. There are a few teething problems doors not fitting properly,taps leaking and sockets not working properly. Generally, it's a lack of care and craftmanship. I am busy putting up the pictures clocks etc, in order to make a house a home. We did encounter one major problem, on leaving Kuwait I could not find the key ring to our safe in Cebu, no problem I thought, Ruth has a key. It is an electronic safe and so you only need a key to unlock it if you forget the code number. When I asked Ruth where she had put here key she said in the safe, so itdidn't get lost. Also the opening instruction sheet. I remembered the Master Code and so could over ride all other code numbers. unfortunately, the master key wouldn't work. and so I ended up drilling a small hole in the base so I could retreive the instructions. So simple just 2 Hash keys in addition tothe Master Code and it opened. That was enough drama for one week, well for a life time in fact.
More treatment on Monday, then at the end of the month I am off to the UK to get the treatment I need. Keep you posted.
