As long as I am into things that are not my business, I think you should have your wife sterilized after she gets her baby, if she exists. There is not room enough for one Dunt in this world, let alone, two.
Back on the island now, the ferry was technical yesterday, at one point became cancelled but eventually operated 3 hours late by which time the foot passengers had gone to smaller boats leaving the RoRo 'freight only' with just the truckers and the likes of girlfriend and me. The crew know us now and address me by my first name, had a good laugh without any 'normal' passengers, the beer was flowing, the music was blaring, we even had cockerels wandering around, this ferry normally only operates in daylight, we arrived back to the island in darkness last evening and the Captain was taking things very slowly entering the port area.
Lots of supplies to unload at the land but now, it seems, we're getting messed around by yet another nipa supplier ... they'd said they could produce 2,000 nipa's by the end of this week, we collected 300 on Monday expecting them to have atleast a further 500 or 600 ready for us to collect today but when we phoned them from the ferry yesterday they'd only prepared 100 ... I estimate I need some 5,000 nipa's for just one roof and waiting for the roof to go on is now delaying things ... might have to source yet more supplier(s)!
philippines update......
Today I put some food in my mouth and ate it. I purchased a tent, I got my australian builder to put it up. I went to the beach I discovered that the sea is wet.
Just block the twat's PM's or am I inventing the wheel here?
For the first time in over 6 months girlfriend and I are apart, her best friend is visiting family in the nearby Surigao City whilst, at short notice, we needed a 2" holesaw and some carbon brushes for the electric planer so have dispatched girlfriend off to socialize with best friend for the night whilst shopping for supplies ... even as she was on the boat before leaving port she was SMS'ing me that she loves me etc. :)
I jokingly promised her that I won't drink whilst she's away ... yeah right! :)
Picking her up off the morning boat at circa 0845 hours tomorrow morning en-route to picking-up yet more nipa ... the nipa roof is going on bit by bit whilst we have a chainsaw team in today felling two of the remaining coco trees and clearing remaining coco stumps etc.
Back to the "My dick is bigger than your dick" pissing contest for much of the rest of you I guess?
Quite amusing that I hear that I am accused of posting under such alias's as danny3777, DBHundertmark or whatever ...
I'm busier than hell here, no time and often no internet availabilty for such nonsense, so much so that girlfriend and I actually feel like we need the one day off of Sunday per week.
Only yesterday morning we took the motorbike up island first lunching with a fellow Brit and his Filipina girlfriend before off to occupy the afternoon beside the beach with another Brit and his Filipina wife before returning to the first couple who served us with a most delightful 'British' Sunday roast pork dinner, by the time we got back home last evening it was 9pm.
It will soon be 9am of a Monday morning, lots to do today, a bit of shopping, probably 2 loads of some 300 nipa's to pick-up whilst enquiring about a well digger contractor who we were informed of yesterday
Martin, with water so close to the surface, have you thought about using a sand point?? They are quite cheap, and if you are worried about not enough capacity, install 2 of them.
For months, on and off, I've been taking opinions/advice from others and I have decided to dig an approx 3m well, the well diggers are hopefully starting this Friday and will get through the limestone OK, then there will be a 1hp pump pumping the water from the well to a 500 US gallon water storage tank and then there will be a 1hp pressure tank pumping the water from the storage tank around the development.
