Relax?

The Phils is a beautiful place in parts designed for enjoyment and much cheaper to live in than many places. This can lead to a decision to upgrade one's lifestyle and perhaps instead of the life of a small farmer, that I really am, we should be thinking of rather more grand a style. The butler ensuring that some nob's bath is to the correct desired temperature iss nothing in comparison to the real luxury of swimming off one's yacht and having the early morning sea just warmed a touch by the addition of a boiling kettle to ensure that one suffers no chill.

Nevertheless being greeted each morning in a manner clearly set up to distinguish between the "have's" and their supporting staff can take a little bit of getting used to; this in spite of having staff in Nigeria so many years ago. But we will strive to enjoy life as best we can.
