"Please just rinse it so it doesn't smell like a mosquito ‐ thank you" Melani's poster for the boarding house rubbish disposal area. On All-Hallows, large Filipino communities gather in the Cemetery to honour their departed relatives. This memorial commemorates the Sereno family ‐ Melanie's mother Perla's maiden name is Sereno. Some Boarding House drains require re‐alignment and Rex makes good. A retro look at Marianne's domestic industry; a composite for School. Yes, it's November so it's Christmas Decoration time. A rare treat ‐ roast lamb with mushroom sauce for Sunday lunch. Things that went wrong in November ‐ trying to add memory sticks to TV, a busted strimmer. Lovely Christmas decoration for 2024 by Melanie. Boarding house gate fixed. How marvellous, a hateful shabby grifter, beloved of USA citizens is now president elect. A wonderful production of Moana for school with nephew Zion (please see video below). We acquired a large adjoining plot and made a plan; badminton court, car park, pavilion, big orchards, fruit and veg. Permission granted for felling of two palms, one with a rotten base and the other bald from a lightening strike. Progress here on the wall and gate to the road beyond. The trees in the plot. Finishing the exterior wall. Marcelino Fuentes Sr. my dear father in law had a nasty cut on his hand when he was working on the gate machinery. She's forever blowing bubbles, plastic bubbles in the air. Fashion Victim ‐ our darling Marianne a couple of years ago. Dear friends of 55 years, Tony and sister Shirley looking lovely and good, and enjoying a Worthing theatre production of The Nutcracker. Fondly remembering professional Shirley doing an amazing and vigorous demo of a ballroom jive in the Peter Jones customer restaurant after hours (and after clearing the tables!), perhaps an introduction for dancing classes? Dear lovely Cousins (and sister Bridget) Zoom session. Didn't realise until doing this that Tatay (my father in law Marcelino) had quite a bad injury to his hand (see above). Shards of coconut fibre from a gate construction had embedded themselves in his hand when he saved it from toppling over. He required an operation but is now fully recovered. Evidence indicates that this person is nephewess in law Claire Bryer searching after losing a glove in Murlough Bay, Ireland which is the Country where she and husband Joe moved to, back in August. Sophia Rubo ‐ Pian to her friends. Slim, tall and beautiful, Ritz and Von Seidlein families in Rome earlier this year. Luxurious Family Dining in Ma‐a at the Felix Residence. Melanie's green fingers worked a treat on the Bougainvillias. Looking Good, Melanie xxx. Our 'new' corner plot ready for fencing. The white blocks are plot cadastral markers used in the surveying systems here in the Davao Region. <a href="https://www.recipetineats.com/sticky-chinese-chicken-wings/" target="_blank">Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings</a>. Lots of components. Tried it on chicken thighs. Not as good as the wings, which I made several times. Guess who this is. The crown she never takes off. Mariannecam. A celebration and a funeral. 15 years for sis Maricel at Central Bank of the Philippines. The funeral was sadly for a daughter of Aunty Lillie who lives a long drive away in Santa Tomas. 1 of 3 A celebration and a funeral. 2 of 3 A celebration and a funeral. 3 of 3 Office with ARP whistle on the keys. Japanese Sushi and other goodies at Maison Felix.
