New Apartment

I moved to a new apartment yesterday. It’s actually more of a townhouse with an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area. Upstairs it has two bedrooms, the smaller one has a balcony.

It is unfurinshed, so we plan to add items as and when we can afford them.

The first thing on my list is an air conditioning unit. It gets close to 40C during the day and 36C at night. I’m not used to these temperatures and drop with sweat whenever I am not infront of the fan. Sometimes during the day it gets so hot, I stop wiping the sweat off because by the time I finish, I am covered in sweat again. This is supposed to be one of the hottest summers that they have had in the philippines and if that’s so, I am confidant I could survive comfortably during the other summers here.

Earlier tonight, I was sat in front of the fan, but it just kept blowing the sweat onto my back. I seriously need to lose some weight and get fit! I made a cool drink, but within a minute of sitting down, the ice had melted! They’re not kidding when they call the philippines the gateway to hell. It certainly is hot enough!

Onto the good news, I am now a lot closer to Ian and the kids, so I can get there to see them and they can easily get over to see me.

For now I will signoff, its unbearably hot and humid tonight and I am leaking sweat so much I feel like a sponge!

Photos will come soon, I promise. (of the apartment, not me sweating!)
