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.
