February 16, San Pablo, Laguna








Alasdair and I went for an early morning run this morning – just a short one, around 2.5 kms. Was a bit nervous initially, as it’s only my first time to run with Al. But it seems that his previous knee operation has worked to my advantage – he’s had to slow down so I can now keep up with him. Better remind myself to kick him in the knees once he gets better so that we can continue to workout together. Ha-ha.

We’re now at my parent’s holiday home with my sister Tech and her family. We also have a staff of seven, which includes the two nannies for the two babies, and a driver. At times like these I wonder how I can survive with my day-to-day living in the UK with my staff of… err, none.

It seems Alasdair and I were very positive about the children’s blogs, because it seems that it will be like pulling teeth. Although we did manage to get them to start it, they’ve written around 2 sentences each. Oh dear.

My parents have just arrived with my niece Samantha, who’s 13. They’ve also arrived with 2 househelp and a driver. There are now 12 of us here and a staff of 10. Disbelief, really. Tomorrow my sister Mayet arrives with her husband Sandy and her 3 children. I wonder how many other people she will come with…

Alasdair, Phillip (my brother-in-law), Callum and Euan have gone for a hike around the area. A bit too energetic for me, methinks.

Looks like you are definitely into the whole "Manila" lifestyle with the multiple staff and the travelling in hordes....Hope you're having fun!
