Remember I said you'd have to line the ceiling of the basement? I grew up in a house like that, remember it well.

You have a basement. Lucky you! A house always represents a never ending list of things to do.

Yeah Carl ,lots of storage, although it needs organising since the move. Actually I don't mind fixing up houses,it gives me something productive to do in this lockdown Making any money and work has completely stopped in this lockdown. So I will paint the house and when that's done I have some time for TV's and Radiograms that have been waiting to be restored or finish off. Now is my chance ,can't go anywhere anyway. No luscious creatures knocking on the door with a bottle of wine in hand either! Pete

Pete When things have settled and your wife comes back from the phillippines we might drive down that way to say hello. We would be ready to hit the road by then.

Pete I spoke to my wife this morning ( yes it happens occasionally lol ) and she said that she was born in Laguna and sounded very keen. And the amazing thing is that three of my sister's inlaw are all teaching english to Koreans. It must be in demand over there.

It's because we have a daughter who is 5 so teaching is flexible, crap money ,but it's a compromise . Pearl was born there too in Binan , I lived there for awhile . I met my wife in Sydney and life was not going so good here so we went and lived in Phil , which I loved . I would live there full time if not for my daughter who is better off here in Oz. She has no memory of being there . Because when she was born we came home back to oz
