We're about to have lunch and in a couple of hours Jamie will pick us up to take us to Hadspen where there is to be yet another filipino Christmas 'do'. They really know how to enjoy themselves and they regard us as honorary members of their club. We avoided Tuesday's 'do' but, because today's shindig is at Jamie and Nera's, we will be there. I would be happy to drive but Jamie insists on picking us up. His excuse is that parking will be an issue and, while there may be some truth in that, he may be just a lkittle bit over-protective.
I had my shower a bit later than usual today and just went out to hang my damp towels on the clothesline. The concrete path there is a bit narrow with the air-conditioning unit on one side and an overgrown garden on the other. I don't know what the plants are but they've grown to be about 2m tall, with large glossy leaves and white flowers. They need to be cut back but I have neither the tools nor the knowledge to do it. We've been allocated funding to employ a gardener but haven't been able to find one for a couple of years. There must be someone out there who needs to earn a quid but they never seem to cross our path.
And every day, the problem grows.
