Saturday 24 February 2007






Instead of taking the bus to Tacloban to buy food, Ai is at a special meeting called by the mayor to work out her coming election campaign.

The headache has now cleared after two weeks. There is some lower abdominal discomfort but the sickness has calmed down. She is in good spirits, with lots of fun text messages.

We have the difficulty of obtaining a certificate of no impediment. This has to state that I have no
previous marriage or unresolved divorce. It has to meet Philippine requirements, but is issued by the Australian Embassy in Manila. Then checked by the Philippine Foreign Office. each step involves expense.

But hopefully, we can get a visitor's visa in time for Ai to travel with me to Melbourne on 17 April, so that the babe will be born here in October.

Peter keeps urging me that she will be bored here at Lara, and to move into Melbourne.
--- So I will post a few pictures of Lara to give the general idea. --- And then some pictures of melbourne.

Huh?
