My love affair with the Phils progresses, I start each day with a happy song, especially now we have the
shower plumbing sorted in both houses!And, having felt that we were perhaps seeking too much, that elusive 13A visa has just been approved, as usual for a probationary year before full finalisation.
There were times when I thought we were doomed to seek this for ever but something eventually went right, to the extent that in fact the visa was approved mid-January and runs from then, but the ways of bureaucracy are slow, where-ever one may be, and it was only yesterday that it made its way into my passport.
So no longer do I feel a trespasser in this, my adopted country, which also reduces the fears of being treated in the manner such people deserve.
Now it is time to settle down, although hoping for the occasional spot of work, and grow old as gracefully as I can.
