Not a lot to say about what was yesterday, so let’s get it over and done with, shall we?
First up was getting the weekly grocery shopping done, and I did. Five thousand pesos were spent at YBC supermarket, mostly for the contents of the goody bags we hand out on the candy walks. Then on to Royal to restock the cabinets, and another eleven thousand gone forever.
Ten days and counting now with no running water at the house.
It rained all day again. As I suspected, this season has been unprecedented. Here are the August stats for Olongapo City:
Yesterday’s downpour didn’t even have the courtesy to let up some for my beer o’clock walk into town. I went anyway, but the wind pretty much rendered my umbrella ineffective.
We did our nightcap at Wet Spot and had the usual good time. Then back home for some strawberry-banana smoothies to bring a sweet end to the day.
From the November 2021 LTG archives, I was experiencing a different kind of sweetness with my new love. We were off to a good start!
Today’s YouTube video shares the vlogger’s experience exploring Manila. I despise that city and avoid it to the extent possible. Intramuros does look interesting, and I wouldn’t mind exploring it one of these days. BGC and Makati, the upscale districts, are nice enough, but a bitch to get to in the notorious Manila traffic. Anyway, it was nice to see his experience as he explored the city.
I have a (funny) bone to pick with you:
What a long, strange trip it’s been. It’s all groovy, and I’m gonna keep on truckin’!
Didn’t know Swan was a smoker, John. Are Buddy and Lucky ok with it?
Ed, Swan does not smoke. It took me a minute to figure out what made you think she does; then I saw the pack of cigarettes on the table in that photo. Those belong to someone else who was sitting with us.
